Wouldn’t the country and domain dissolving mean it can be reassigned? I don’t understand why after that it would still be considered a country TLD only available for future countries.

Because 2 letter tlds are reserved to be issued to countries. Ideally the country's 2 letter country code.

All ASCII ccTLD identifiers are two letters long, and all two-letter top-level domains are ccTLDs.
