You are mixing up marketing, implementation, and "supported".
HP decided the older box wasn't worth supporting.
I'l hazard a guess the "upgrade" would not generate enough revenue
to offset the additional qualification/inventory/support burden.

And SCSI implementations are not always compatible because they
don't implement all the same features. Delayed spinup and
Target-Initiated Syncronous Negotiation are two SCSI disk features
that early host controller firmware typically have trouble with.
