AMD historically supported their sockets a lot longer than Intel's two years. Recently they moved to AM5 and only had a single generation on a threadripper socket. This greatly angered tech media and consumers, despite it still being better than Intel support.
Perhaps releasing new SKUs on the "old" platform is a way to bump up the numbers even more: "see we supported AM4 for 5+ generations!"
