But other bullet points were flagged as being obsolete in 2024. That one wasn't. Yes, they could've still just missed that one bullet but corrected others. But if so, it's a pretty big miss.

I agree with this second paragraph though. Given all of the things that they highlighted as changing, it seems hard to believe that they didn't call out the most consequential of them all in any way other than a chart in the T&Cs.
