Is G-Sync hardware in a Monitor a thing of the past now?

I recently picked up the Alienware AW3225QF, and I've been really pleased with it after learning how to set it up properly for SDR and HDR content! Fantastic colours, just everything I could have hoped for in a 4K OLED panel.

I've discovered that it's 'only' G-Sync Compatible though, with a VRR range of 48-240hz, instead of having the G-Sync hardware. At first I was feeling a bit sunk and that I not done my homework properly for the gaming side of things, but then I discovered something: every 4K OLED Panel is 'only' G-Sync compatible (Nvidia Gsync Support List).

Is this the new norm? Is Nvidia binning off the G-sync module to help reduce prices?

Thanks for the feedback guys. As long as my framerates are 60+ not seeing any problems with flickering, and certainly no screen tearing so G-sync is doing its job it seems.
