In summary, Defender for Cloud (Defender for Servers P1 & P2) and Defender for Endpoint are bundled together in regard to servers. (server-based).

For user accounts and devices there are several licensing options, but Defeder for Office, Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Cloud Apps, and Defender for Identity are usually related to M365 E5 licensing or AAD P2 (user-based).
