I don't know why they just don't come out and say it. I would suspect
that "product inprovements" = ECS and "software offerings" = WB/KS 1.4
and beyond.

Sure 3rd parties can and will most likely come up with ways to make
these improvements work on a 1000, but CBM can't continue to put
resources into the 1000 and advance the Amiga line as a whole.
