This card’s gonna be absolutely busted once Vs get replaced with some new gargantuan-HP multiprize gimmick. Wonder why they didn’t future proof it with the rule box phrasing.

Don’t forget it’ll be rotated out of standard due to the D regulation mark soon.
Twylis
Standard yes, but not Expanded, and I highly doubt any of its interactions with the new ex cards will warrant a ban there. Probably just gonna be a weirdly overpowered item indefinitely.
But I do look forward to its price drop, now that you mention it c:

The rule box phrasing came after this card, right? This card’s shoddy future-proofing is probably one of the things that motivated them to come up with the term.
DaneeBound
Wasn’t really past-proofed either, since it also didn’t exclude Pokémon-EX from its effect.
This is in fact what got Shaymin EX (ROS-77) banned from Expanded (as if that Pokémon’s come-into-play effect wasn’t already busted by itself).
Ambassador
As far as the idea of past-proofing, you wouldn’t expect a Gen 8 card to refer to a Gen 6 mechanic. The first third or so of sets of a new generation will have cards that still refer to interactions with mechanics from the previous generation, but it won’t go much further back than that.
