Why no Support for CT1?

I was close to buying an Approach S70 watch --- my primary use case was for needing a watch was to track golf. Then the fēnix 8 came out and I decided to splurge to get some additional functionality and build quality, but still with the primary intent of using the fēnix as wearable golf tracker.

For club tracking, I considered adding the CT10 club sensors but was put off by the cost and the need for batteries. With the release of the CT1 tracking tags, these two concerns were addressed. Or so I thought.

fēnix 8 is not listed as a compatible device for the CT1!?! Why??? fēnix supports all other the golf tracking features and includes NFC so what's the issue?

Please Garmin, add the fēnix 8 as a compatible device with the CT1.  Thanks in advance!
