Could the Next Step for UA be Light / Basic Premium Cabin Fare? More Unbundling?

Lufthansa introduces Light fares for PE and Business starting March 2026

Could this be the reason for the New UA booking interface - 2026?

I was booking a premium cabin trip and wonder why the extra step as there was only one choice.
