"The Roman Missal promulgated by Pope Paul VI is the ordinary expression of the lex orandi (rule of prayer) of the Catholic Church of the Latin rite. The Roman Missal promulgated by Saint Pius V and revised by Blessed John XXIII is nonetheless to be considered an extraordinary expression of the same lex orandi of the Church and duly honoured for its venerable and ancient usage. These two expressions of the Church’s lex orandi will in no way lead to a division in the Church’s lex credendi (rule of faith); for they are two usages of the one Roman rite."
(From: Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum On the Use of the Roman Liturgy Prior to the Reform of 1970, Pope Benedict XVI)

I shared this multiple times in various threads because it works for and against trads. Since they're one and the same rite, then that means there's an excuse to use the EF but also no excuse not to use the OF.
At the same time, we also know that three Popes allowed the EF only because some miss it (according to the second Pope) and in order to appease a few (according to the first Pope), so what's happening now is a fulfillment of what three intended, which is to use the EF with restrictions.
