Indeed. So either they didn't consider RtMI a numbered release, whatever that exactly means, and therefore it wasn't included; or they either forgot that they'd stated that cutoff date, or maybe decided they could get away with just not doing it since it was close.

No, there wasn't. This page posted March 15, 2023 talks about why not: https://limitedrungames.com/blogs/news/limited-run-shipping-initiatives-2023 -- briefly, the delay waiting for cards to be printed would hold up release of games otherwise ready to ship. I don't know whether RtMI was not considered a "numbered release" and therefore no card was "promised" in the first place, or if it was either forgotten or quietly dropped because the cutoff date of April 1, 2023 was close to when they opened the pre-orders for it.

Yes, it seems to be carefully distinct from using the words "adventure game".
