It sounds pretty unambiguous; they go out of their way to note that these products are no longer available by any means and are discontinued, and they list both vSAN and NSX.
But, yeah, just because a company says something doesn't mean it's true, I guess - wouldn't put it past them to say "oh, all these products have been replaced by the new VMWare vCloud Platinum MAX offering" which is just the same products in a bundle that costs ten times as much.
When they say "products" they mean the specific licenses available to purchase. The original announcement linked on that page has all the details:
For customers seeking an HCI solution, we offer VMware vSAN as an add-on to vSphere Foundation, which includes all the capabilities of vSAN including vSAN Max.

People are snapshoting the hell out of those pages on the wayback machine! The world is going insane right now.
