Curve25519 seems to be only available on one specific model, and not even the most expensive one. What's up with that?

yubikey only came out with that this year.

Unfortunately they don't do firmware upgrades, so one of mine can only do rsa.

Some Nitrokeys contain smart cards and those don't support Curve25519 as of now.
