tbh I i am not sure where you read that, the deed of undertaking with DCMS even said other than (ie expect for) combination of Paramount+ and HBO Max

Paramount undertakes to the SoS that, as of the date of this Deed, other than the publicly
announced combination of HBO Max and Paramount+, Paramount does not have plans for any
material changes to the linear and on-demand services currently offered by WBD, insofar as
they relate to the UK, for the duration of the Undertaking Period

The only streaming service they have keep separate in the US is Pluto TV for 5 years or another free ad supported streaming service.....

Nothing stopping them adding Discovery+ free to air series & Channels to 5 or Pluto TV aswell though , one of WBD last actions was agreeing a deal with ITV to add TLC and Quest collections to ITVX , Discovery+ hasn't been mentioned much by anyone presumably because it's in less and less countries now as a standalone service.
Paramount+ is reportedly working on a free tier
