EV3 - OTA updates are newer version than offline/USB updates?

I noticed in my KIA Connect app some new features were added that weren't there before, so I assumed a new infotainment system update was released. Low and behold, 6th of april a new update for the CCU has made available for OTA. But since the OTA package is overpriced (why even ask money for it, but that is a separate discussion), I'm forced to get a USB update. But when I go and try to get the latest USB/offline update, the latest release is the 9th of february.

Question, Is KIA locking out people from getting the latest updates if they don't give into their OTA subscription or am I missing something?

Offline/USB update caps at 09/02/2026 (using US date system completely makes sense on a EU website)

OTA Update shows a later release.
