9500 series EOS

[Questions]

The 9500-40X has announced EOS, but the 9500-16X and 9500-24X have not announced EOS. What is the issue?

Please note: This announcement does not include C9500-16X which will not reach End of Sale at least until April 2025.

[Questions]

Is the reason for the omission something that only CISCO employees know?
In my opinion, 40X and 16X are the same equipment, but I am just curious about why they were left out.

9500-16X will have it's own, separate EoS/EoL announcement, as per End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement for the Cisco C9500 selected Switch Models: C9500-12Q, C9500-24Q and C9500-40X.
