Description
In what's new it is said that `entities do not have an "originating subgraph." `, hence you do not have to use `extend type`. But all examples in the subgraph spec for augmenting types or using types from other subgraphs are with `extend type`. This is very confusing.

Research direction
Compare the “What’s new in Federation 2” page with the Federation spec examples at the two linked documentation URLs, focusing on the guidance about originating subgraphs and `extend type`. Update the wording or examples so they agree, and confirm that the explanation and examples no longer contradict each other.
