Sure enough, in prior years, the follow-up question is:
"For the years you received these distributions, was the amount shown in box 2a of the form 1099-R used as the taxable amount?"
Then I can select "Yes, the amount in box 2a was used as the taxable amount"
(and those are their bolding, not mine)

@dmertz I suspect the new wording for 2025 (eliminating the box 2a words) will cause a whole host of messes for folks who have a 1099-R which actually lists a box 2a value lower than box 1 for (say) after tax contributions.
