Microfilm Collections Not Digitized?

I though that all microfilm collections had already been digitized (https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-request-that-a-microfilm-be-digitized).

However, these two collections appear to be available in microfilm only: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/339183?availability=Family%20History%20Library, https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/340685?availability=Family%20History%20Library.

Is this correct? If so, how could I ask for them to be digitized?

    All microfilm has been digitized. The reel icon NOW means that the images cannot be viewed from your location/account because of the contract conditions between the record holder and FamilySearch. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/what-are-notes-or-film-digital-notes-in-the-catalog

    Sarcasm On... Let's just call it a "feature" of the User Interface...

    @Adrian Bruce1 I keep hoping for a modified set of icons when/if the catalog update finally finishes.

    Thank you so much. Now it makes sense.
