They DON’T have the product, but they do have secured the parts and manufacture, so it gets slowly built, after which small batches are dispached around the world, before getting assigned to someone in the queue to be bought (if he still wish to).
For the waitlist, they don’t have secured enough parts to buy a chunk of manufacturing time to assemble them. From the look of it they decided to buy additional manufacturing time chunks in 2028, but don’t know yet when they will be, so wait & see.

Read again. The distinction is very clearly stated.
Reservation queue : There is a product for you in the current batch, just wait for it to be available before purchasing it.
Waitlist : There wasn’t enough products in this batch to put you in the queue, but if someone in the queue decide not to buy, his product will be assigned to someone else, and a spot will be freed from the waitlist, allowing someone (probably randomly chosen in the waitlist) to join the queue.
