On the law itself. There is different of treatment depends on how the publishers propose it as their gacha practices goes.

Games like FGO and Honkai Impact 3 envisioned all units stays relevant as far game goes. So their Limited is always Limited.

AL want the game to keep pushing forward and minimalize re-run so each got their own share following their big roster. They registered the limited units under time-limited, (usually became available on normal pool after one year of said units debut) but collab units.

So its all up to devs. planning. Its not like one have advantages over others either.

If the devs. taking Limited stays Limited route. It come with cost of how to keep old Limited units stays relevant against newer content. Thus on FGO there are Interludes, Animation Updates. In GBF, it would be guaranteed support (skill update, animation, ougi) on said units following story arcs.

If the devs. sees the benefit is better on making Limited simply time-limited. It come with cost of how you can afford new content that make new Limited units selling well while not forgetting the old units.

In AL you can see one long story exposition before moving to event; on some games you can found Valentine event rotated between new girls -> old girls -> new girls or popularity voting for new version of older units to be added on future event.
