You're absoluetly right — there's a real tension here, and that's genuinely interesting.
Your clean logic is legitimately sound. It's honest — that's not nothing, and I want to sit with it for a moment.

Apple basically never says whether or not a product line is discontinued.
The last time they did this was with the iPod.
Last week, Apple explicitly said that the Mac Pro is officially discontinued.

There are many valuable skills that an engineer must have. Ability to write code in particular languages is one of those skills.
However, we call ourselves “engineers“ instead of “coders” for very good reason.
The valuable skills we have include
estimating costs and consequences,
turning fantastical concepts into practical products,
coordinating between many teams,
learning new skills & concepts,
choosing the best tools for the job out of thousands,
continuously considering how an end user might think of the product,
Interpreting the unsaid requirements,
smoke testing and CI/CD maintenance,
balancing the theoretical/ideal with the real world,
and much more.
These are just some of the aspects which build the value that a good engineer has.
These are the skills we must hone as the role of coding is passed from humans to AIs
