It is worded oddly. Every resignation letter I have written has included the sentence, “I resign my position as x to be effective x date,” including positions I had to resign to take a new position at the same place.
Bill Barr is not a young man and does not seem very fit.

You made a lot of good points in your post. One thing I’ve noticed about the President is that he seems to hire for specific tasks. It’s a unique and signature approach to project and personnel management, especially for the Leader of the free world. When the task has been completed, he hires the best person for the next task. We saw it repeatedly during the 2016 campaign.
I always got the sense that Bill Barr was enticed out of retirement for a specific purpose, and once he fulfilled that purpose, it was always intended that he return to retirement.
There are many really decent people who served under derp Presidents who love the Republic enough to want to protect and defend it. BB always seemed like one of those to me, which would explain his willingness to serve for a specified period and a specified purpose.
YMMV

This is what I have been telling my wife all along. Trump’s the ultimate project manager. He brings in specialists to do specific tasks at specific times.
Just like construction management, you hire excavators, then steel workers, then electricians, etc. It’s all building to a finished product.
Barr has completed the task he was assigned. It’s possible that he may even return in a different capacity.

Reference?
The Apprentice.
Each winner he assigned /real world/ jobs in the Trump organization.
