Yes, I now see a 4G LTE phone won't work upon a solely 5G SA network which is likely where T-Mobile is heading. This should be good for Qualcomm in moving out their mid-range AI capable and affordable 7s Gen 3 chipsets. I also see the AppLab link I previously posted was incorrect.

yea, most cell sites are a retrofit of past LTE stations upgraded to 5G, hence nsa types. only new cell sites which have no history or larger cells where it makes sense to install SA 5G will get the upgrade. but even then they probably maintain an NSA lte fall back for roamers everywhere. But realistically, there are far too many phones that are NOT 5G still out there to just brick wall change the network over to 5G only. Part of this is why Tmobile is running ads to give a new iphone away for free. Get rid of lte only phones. even though they want to go to Sa networks, the practical part of it jumps up in their face. BTW NSA versus SA has alot more to do witht he underlying network than the over the air protocol. an NSA system uses the older 3GPP specs for the way calls are run. the newer SA networks have a completly new core network design which actually operates much better. and in some time soon, we face the 5G roll to 6G. the SA networks are probably the only one that can run 6G, so they need to do this massive tech exchange to prepare for 6G in a couple of years.
