Version Naming of Streaming Players

It would be really helpful if you would name the players with a year model number. For example if I want to order a Roku Ultra or Ultra LT I can't tell which model I'd be ordering on almost all sites without ordering one then checking the box for the model number. I can't tell if I'd be getting a Ultra LT 2021, 2022, 2023. Heck I can't even be sure which years new models came out. Same with the Streaming Stick 4K.  If you named them with a subscript it's be very helpful. For Example Streaming Stick 4K(subscript 23) for the 2023 model; or Ultra LT(subscript 21) for the 2021 model. I can't even figure out when new models came out. I'm trying to buy the most recent model to be sure i can get the AV1 support, but can't tell for sure because not all 4K models support the AV1 codec. My Ultra plays 4K but it's older so doesn't support AV1, so i have to really work harder than someone shopping should to figure out which ones do and which model i'd be ordering.
