Interesting. Why are non 17th edition CUs so readily available if any
replacement must comply?

You can use them in compliant ways with RCBOs etc. There are also
circumstances where you still want non RCD protected ways. Having said
that, many people will carry on working to the older standards for a
while, and the retailers will be happy to clear old stock. There will
also be an ongoing desire to do like for like swaps on damaged kit etc.
