I agree this makes sense, but what is your justification? The T&C seem to indicate selecting it in Jan. 2023 will provide 2 years (2023 and 2024) of lounge access.

Once a milestone is reached, Members have 90 days to select a benefit on the IHG website or IHG App, otherwise, the benefit is forfeited.
Once Annual Lounge Membership is chosen it will be valid to the end of the year plus an additional 12 months (E.g., Annual Lounge Membership Milestone choice selected June 2022 will be valid until 31 December 2023)
Annual Lounge Membership rewards do not accumulate. Member only needs to select Annual Lounge Membership once (at either the 40-night or 70-night Milestone) to maximise value for the Member and enjoy it through to the end of year plus 12 months.
