Is Sync moving away from giving FICO scores?

I know Chase recently stopped offering FICO scores for Slate cardholders. I just logged in to check my FICO on the Lowes card site and saw this at the bottom of the page:

Has anyone else seen this on their Lowes or any other Sync cards? I was still able to get my FICO score, but I won't be surprised to see that go away over the next few months.

Scores: March 21 FICO 8: EX 810, TU 808, EQ 813
AoOA: closed: 36 years, open: 25 years; AAoA: 11.8 years
Amex Gold, Amex Green, Amex Blue, Amex ED, Amex Delta Gold, Amex Hilton Surpass, BoA Platinum Plus, Chase Freedom Unlimited, Chase Amazon, Chase CSP, Chase United Explorer, Citi AA Plat, Sync Lowes, Sync JC Penney - total CL 145k
Loans: Chase car loan (35k/6yrs 0.9%)

That's disappointing if they're taking that feature away from the card.  I only see the banner on my Lowe's account, but not Amazon or PayPal Credit.  All 3 show a TU FICO 08 score from 01 JUL.

I see that announcement and I wont be enrolling in it, not interested in FAKO scores. I suspect they got a better deal from Vantage than Fico. Wonder if they will be using Vantage to maintain the account if so that too will be very disappointing. If someone isnt using such a score they should be banned from publishing it to the public, going to be contacting my US reps and make such a suggestion.

I hope they don't take away the TU Fico 8 score.  My Lowe's account is the only source I have that still gives me negative reason codes with an 850 score, something I really appreciate.

My Synchrony cards (Sam's Club MC and PayPal MC) still show TU Fico, albeit they haven't been updated since July 1st. It could just be late, but who knows... In my case, I also get this score from Barclays (Uber Visa).

Well, at the risk of FSR, IMO NOT the most pressing thing I need reps to focuse on!

I can't speak to Lowes specifically, but all of my various  Sync cards still give me TU FICO 8, and they do it every day that I ask them to.

FICO 08 scores listed and are stagnated until multiple derogatory items expire over the next two years.
