So are we 'officially' at TL 8.25 or what?

Combat, movement, skill, characteristics can be generic.

Careerist generation pretty much pin you down to something more specific.

Since when did anyone ever say that Traveller was setting neutral /agnostic?
There are other settings [2300, Pioneer, Dark Conspiracy] that use the 2d6 mechanics, but they're offshoots of the basic Traveller Charted Space /OTU product.
And let's be 100% here: there is no alternate setting that pulls down as much sales as the Traveller OTU. Not 2300, not Zozer, not anybody. Why are you guys faulting Mongoose for following its sales figures?
If you want a setting neutral /agnostic 2d6 system, there are several authors that have tried it. Cephus, Zozer, etc. You can find their work all over DTRPG. Personally, I love the Traveller setting more than I love the mechanics of 2d6. YMMV and all that, but I find 2d6 to be much less adaptable than d100 for personally designed milieux. But I'm down for new material on the setting I've loved for nearly 50 years every day of the week. I don't have to agree with it, after all. That's what 'IMTU' means.
And what does ANY of this have to do with estimating Earth's current tech level?

@MongooseMatt I know you hate giving definitive answers, but please answer these. What is Traveller? Is it a setting or a ruleset? If it is a ruleset then why do the settings other than Charted Space not use the Traveller CRB? If it is a setting, then Traveller is no longer a setting-agnostic game system. Which of these is Mongoose using going forward?

Traveller is a ruleset, albeit one that is very close to Charted Space.

Dark Conspiracy and Pioneer are not simple universes but separate games - basically, they have enough differences that they benefit from better separation.

Actually naval laser weapons are alive and well. Moving forward at a rapid pace

Lasers are actually deployed in limit numbers. They'll get a lot more research pumped at them for anti-drone and anti-overly-hyped-hypersonic weapons.

Rail/Coil guns need better underlying tech (crystaliron and superconductors?) before we try again.
