Cellebrite falling behind a few months doesn't mean data won't be extracted from a device.
They'll catch up and then the device can be exploited. iOS and regular Android don't have a way to get the device from AFU back to BFU automatically.
Additionally, they may figure out a way to bypassing the secure element throttling eventually and then suddenly devices which have been kept around for years can have the lock method brute forced.
Cellebrite also isn't the only option.
