In a way, the government won't come down very hard soon, BUT... that sort of technical detail is not published so everyone is very worried. Basically if you miss the deadline, you didn't enter the country illegally as you lived here anyway, so they can choose to be gentle and it looks they may in the background.
It is causing problems with renting for sure, no EUSS, yes, your landlord CAN rent to you if you show you applied but they probably won't bother. For you 10 others.
It is also not clear what they do after EU EJC protection ends in 8 years... right now the EU keeps an eye out. And people are super nervous about traveling... there are also problems with names with unusual spelling, kids EUSS being delayed.
I know they are working through it in the HO, but come on... as you say, just extend the deadline. And give us a card, as the digital status doesn't work so well either.
What is just sad and infuriating is that leave (Boris / Gove / Patel ) promised they would not do this (automatic rights to stay...) but instead it is "immigrants treat the country too much like their own" (Boris) and Patel, em wow. Gove, who knows? He did offer free UK citizenship for Tory leadership but did he mean it? (also it is Gove, eww)
They seem to pander to the lowest instincts of the UK. With such a majority they can choose to do the kind things, but, nope.

This is a pretty tough read - https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jun/28/the-anxiety-is-palpable-eu-citizens-face-looming-settled-status-deadline
There absolutely should be an extension and I don't see it as a failure on any side that it is required.
