Apple has moved to adding the Globe icon to their keyboards and it is becoming the fourth modifier key for their OSes. In iPadOS 15 the globe key is used for multitasking shortcuts. As macOS and Apple’s mobile OSes continue to move towards each other, they probably want complete continuity to how their hardware is laid out.
They’ve already introduced the Globe key on the bottom row for all Apple Silicon hardware. I suspect that’s why the Space Gray keyboard was phased out. Hopefully as @macsplusmacs said, a new generation will be introduced soon.
But maybe it will be a different color that we all come to love? Imagine if they new Pro Hardware is in Pacific Blue or Graphite?
