Good post and link.

For my 2021 A5 VIN ... I get "0 Unrepaired Recalls associated with this VIN"

How do we access the "Red Engineering menu" ?

Is this the equivalent to the "Green Menu" on other Audis that I keep reading about ?

I was able to get the Red Menu (Engineering Menu) to come up consistently by hitting up and holding on the NAV a fraction of the second before hitting down and holding the MEDIA button. You then need to keep these two buttons pressed for a few seconds until the Red Menu comes up.
The Green Menu (Development Menu) is different. But besides using a different key combination, you need to enable Developer Mode using VCDS/VCP or ODBEleven first.

The last two digits of the map FEC code gives you a clue what maps you can get for free. So for example, you need 28 in order to take the most recent 2021 maps.

AFAIK, they pulled that large map-update-file offline and it might be back in the Spring. Something about a website remodel ?
There are a few threads about this (various sections like A4, A5, Q5, A6) . Not sure about a 2014 Audi A6 though.

Who the hell removes anything from a website while building a new site? You build the site on another server and upload it when its been completely tested not pull items from the old and kill everyone that needs it!! Still glad I dumped that Benz though.

WELCOME to Audi, where many decisions make no logical sense. Get used to it.

Assuming this method is cheaper because no file server is needed for a year.

Its probably a hosted server — AWS or some company in Deutschland — that may costs pennies a day for that amount t of data stored there. I agree with @CeeGee60 — it is stupid and very shortsighted from a Customers perspective.

I once worked for a very large Fortune 500 company that shut off the coolers for the water fountains to reduce energy costs, so nothing would shock me.
