Lossless pill - no bit depth or sample rate information?

Discussion

Noticed within the last few months that there is some music that will have the lossless pill on it, but when clicked, it won't provide any bit depth or sample rate information...

For example, any song in the album "I Fear..." by SZN4.

On iOS, it just says, "Lossless." (vs. something like "16-bit/48 kHz ALAC")

On macOS, it says, "48 kHz ALAC." (vs. something like "16-bit 48 kHz ALAC")

For things available in Hi-Res Lossless, it says instead "Available in Hi-Res Lossless." on iOS and it gives the sample rate on macOS ("48 kHz ALAC")

Anyone experience similar? Any ideas? It makes me question whether the pill is accurate... This seems like a regression and is quite odd.
