Many smaller mods updated quickly. This is a) because this is not a very large update, and b) because Minecraft has pre releases and release candidates which are practically the same as the final release, so the mod can be updated before the final release of the version.

Also, many mods are necessary for performance reasons, due to vanilla's performance being questionable at times.

A lot of people use accessibility mods that suck to go without. Not having ItemScroller causes me physical pain after just a few minutes of clicking around in chests.

I'm just going to stick with 1.19 and the mods I downloaded several months ago until this matter is sorted out.
