Idk if anyone has mentioned this yet, but a reason Hasbro is giving us this version of genocide is because the character just appeared in Heir of Apocalypse (Late 2024). The last time, I think, he made an appearance was back in Uncanny X-Force.
But, then again, this wave is also giving us Uncanny X-Force AoA Nightcrawler, so maybe that's the reason?
