As far as I can tell, AMSAT has put the linear transponders that the majority of its members wanted on each phase 3 satellite. Adding digital services that the rest of the world is using seems likely to attract more members than continuing with the same old strategy.

My dear Mr Stephenson ESQ
There is also a lot of cube sats in the making who will also carry on digital capabilities but for the sake of the AMSAT'S Can we let them carry on a simple satellite where you and me can discuss of you ideas. As you and me are also aware it is not all the satellite community who can use digital modes.
On the rest i agree with you but it seems there is not enough space available in Eagle and i'm afraid many will missed the train. I think P3E will have some sort of digital system.
