I have no idea why anyone would use Cognito unless they don’t care about availability. Almost every other SaaS vendor supports multi-region active-active and Cognito does not.

What is active-active?

Being live in more than one region at the same time

I think the author is confused. The previous "basic tier" is actually the "lite" tier. The prices are the same, but the number of "free" MAUs is reduced. The "advanced" and "essentials" tier include what seems to be new or expanded features like fully customizable logins and passwordless login options, so you have to pay more to access these features, but it looks like everything Cognito previously provided is in the "lite" tier.
