None of those shoes are really very coveted retro models though.
They have basically retroed all of the coveted OG cws of the 1s, 3s, 4s, and 11s which are the most popular retro models at the end of the day. They've even started the 85 series to sell improved versions of the OG 1 Highs, which is honestly kind of hilarious if you think about it (since AJ 1 retros in the past were so bad).
As far as some of the models you mentioned, 6s and 7s are great, historic models but they don't really have the same popularity as the four models I mentioned (especially AJ 7s). Even Travis 6s and Trophy Room 7s don't command very high resale, relative to the more coveted models of these same respective collabs.
Also, nobody but older dudes care about Jordan 10s. Don't get me wrong, they are comfortable shoes and I love the few I own but they are discount rack specials, in terms of how they are sought after as retros. Nike/JB had a lot of issues selling them at the 2015 "Remastered" $190 retail pricepoint so I'm not sure how they're going to move them at $200+ now.
Again, all the most hyped OG retros have been released in the past decade. There are a few more (some of which you have mentioned) but we're basically scraping the bottom of the pan of OG cw retros at this point. I think they understand this and so we're getting models like the 17s releasing in VERY limited quantities with additional packaging and much higher pricepoints per pair (to make up for the revenue generated from low total stock).
