No, the Karens called the cops on him then he said the Karens are making it more permanent.

That's not done for that reason. The written text is basically boilerplate. Written stuff is a personal note. For example, a letter of recommendation for a special program with a personal note on it is a bigger deal than one with the exact same note in the text with nothing but a bottom line signature.

The memo is a standard bureaucratic letter that was written by some major or colonel and chopped by three different generals before it got to him.

It is worth noting that while this is technically possible, it's highly unlikely. Trump won by extremely bare margins in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and any upswing in support for Biden by more than a point or two over Hillary is likely to carry those states - as well as others such as Florida and Arizona (And if Biden wins Florida, which is not unlikely (!) then he only has to win one other state over Hillary's margin to get to 270).

personally, assuming the fundamentals of the election don't change radically within the next five months (which, this being 2020, is always possible), I think Biden is very likely to pull it out. The real question is what the margin in the Senate ends up being, and if the wave is large enough to prevent Joe Manchin from being the most important vote in the Senate.

I realize that's not the why and that it feels more personal to the reader to write a note on there, but I'm sure the major running it around from general to general appreciated not having to type it again.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

I'm gonna be honest, him delivering this message to this huge audience, especially a young one that - hopefully - will take at least part of it to heart when growing up to be the next generation voting and shaping your country, outweighs my grounds to complain about him, so it's a net good in my book.

That said, the majority of what I know about the guy stems from a short stint of me looking him up during his suicide-forest incident, and the other thing "in my book" ended up being that he's a piece of poo poo with a marketing communication team running his messaging and damage control.
In this case, I'm just glad that his team told him to spread an actually good message in furtherance of his brand.

A friend of mine follows a lot of these types of people (usually critically) and was telling me that he had a big fall after the suicide forest, hit a few more branches, and has been working since then to actually be better about poo poo. This is apparently a culmination rather than an out of the blue thing.
