There is no reason why the Villages would be preventing you from paying the extra money if you wanted that system unless they are making some bulk deals with the HVAC companies doing their install.
Here is the latest EPA rule for installing R-410A systems:

For R-410A Systems (like split systems): December 31, 2025. However, the EPA issued an Interim Final Rule allowing installation of these systems until January 1, 2026, if they were manufactured before January 1, 2025.
For R-410A Products (like self-contained units): December 31, 2027.
