Microsoft "Office 365 Business Premium" plan versus "Exchange Online Plan 2": Missing features?

Why is "Office 365 Business Premium" plan ($12.50 per user/month) missing features from "Exchange Online Plan 2" plan ($8 per user/month)?

Even though the Premium plan has more features than the EO Plan 2, I would still expect a more expensive plan to include all features of lesser plans. Please refer to the following link which this post is based on: https://products.office.com/en-us/exchange/compare-microsoft-exchange-online-plans

The following are the 4 features in EO Plan 2 that are missing from the Business Premium plan:

  1. In-Place Hold: Preserve deleted  items from user mailboxes
  2. Unlimited Storage
  3. Hosted voicemail
  4. Data loss prevention (DLP)

I could not find existing posts or info addressing my question. All the MS contacts I could find were dedicated-support resources for existing, rather than prospective, customers. Any help or info you can offer would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi Pablo,
