A few of the other places this same Greek word “until” is used.

Mt 1:25 - but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

Mt 2:9 -After hearing the king, they went their way; and the star, which they had seen in the east, went on before them until it came and stood over the place where the Child was.

Mt 2:13 -Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him."

Mt 2:15 - He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: "OUT OF EGYPTI CALLED MY SON ."

Only in Matt 1:25 would you be interpreting “until” in the fashion you’ve mentioned.

Not true. A couple of examples:

Matt 28:15 So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

Acts 23:1 Then Paul, looking earnestly at the council, said, "Men [and] brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day." But not after?

And there are others. "Until" does not necessarily stipulate what happened afterward.
