I believe the SGC changes pre-dated the graded card Authenticity Guarantee.
SGC was 7/6/2022, and the AG was instituted for graded cards on 5/2/2022. However, the AG for graded cards only confirms that the card is labeled properly and the holder is not compromised, not whether or not the grade is accurate. So I don't think AG led to SGC's changes at all.
I think the trimming scandal is the most likely reason they added the clarity to the Altered flips.
