Because they provide long term support. With RHEL10 being released in 2025, that would mean having to support Xorg up to 2035, which they obviously do not want.
Additionally, it would slow down the transition. Many would take it, that they have extra time and need not bother yet. By this announcement, it is clear that there are no extra years, clock is ticking, by 2029 the Xorg is dead.
