OPs list is wrong, that's why. DOE revised the definition of a general service lamp in 2022 to include the vast majority of reflector lamps. Bug/appliance/left hand thread/etc are all sold im tiny numbers and therefore exempt.

I was just quoting the article. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that the writer knew what they were talking about, which I guess was wrong of me.

That's totally fair. I happen to know a lot about this topic and didn't read the article at first, and I also meant OP as in whoever posted the article, not you. I could have been more helpful here, sorry.
