TN to Green Card process deferred / paused?

A friend of mine getting a TN has advised me there is some sort of policy or intent change that would prevent Canadians on a TN from moving to the next steps in getting a green card at present, and renewals are the only option to remain working and living in the US under TN. Can anyone verify this? I didn't find any results when I searched the forum.

Edit: my friend sent me a link to what he was referring to:

Parallels and Windows - can Mac owners rely on this for the long term

The slightly "TLDR" question I have is as follows: $2k on a Macbook Air is a large investment, and I believe Parallels is a CORE component that makes the Macbook a useable product for me. It seems like an awful risk to depend on 3rd party software not run or owned by Apple.

What can Parallels the company and/or its faithful and knowledgeable user community tell me about the prospective longevity of Parallels as a company and its ability to accurately support Windows operating systems in Coherence mode? Will I wake up one day and find I have an expensive iPhone with a keyboard if that's all I like from MacOS?

Background/Context (optional and possibly extraneous read if you prefer to focus on TLDR):

I have been an iPhone user for around 18 years now (can't believe how time flies). As money permitted and time went on I became fully sold and embedded on the Apple ecosystem (really iPhone ecosystem IMO) which spawned ownership and reliance/enjoyment of iPad, iPad Pro, Apple Watch and AirPods. The last standout was always Windows PCs and laptops -- I truly believed Windows (and my lightweight Lenovo Nano) were standout products. However I finally caved in having a disjointed experience between Apple services (iMessage/SMS, FaceTime, Stocks, Weather, News, Photos, iCloud) and my Windows desktop (Office/productivity, file/folder management, WINDOW MANAGEMENT for ultrawide monitors!).

Finally I caved and decided to give MacBook a try. Just a figured, it was great at Apple things and not great at the things I have come to depend on Windows. Upon discovering Coherence mode in Parallels I know feel like there is a blended, best of both worlds experience that I have come to love. I only use MacOS as an Apple services platform and a Parallels host OS; everything else just seems to make sense to do in Windows for me.

Of course the anxious person (risk manager?) in me is now worried one day this will go away, as many good things in the software world do. Maybe to be replaced, maybe not. What can Parallels the company and/or its faithful and knowledgeable user community tell me about the prospective longevity of Parallels as a company and its ability to accurately support Windows operating systems in Coherence mode? Will I wake up one day and find I have an expensive iPhone with a keyboard if that's all I like from MacOS?
