When I choose "Save as…" from 2021 (25.3.1) it appears that I can only save is as a 2020 file, not 2021. Why? I am wondering

Not an oversight I think. You'll see that although Illustrator has over 20 versions, there are only 12 formats. It's a good thing when it doesn't change on a new version, because sharing files is simpler.

Hi,

if I definitely want to overwrite the file, although Illustrator believes it is not changed (or if I want to change the setting of "pdf compatible"), "save as" to current version and same name was the best way to do.

So I think I will miss something

"Current version" means "current version of file format". Currently, that would be "Illustrator 2020 file format". Or so it seems to me.

It is Feb 24, 2024 and I don't see anyone from Adobe answering this question.

The file format hasn't changed. Probably just an oversight where someone forgot to update the UI string in the list.
