Basically Daz have gone back to the old Genesis 1 unified model with Genesis 9.

Lol, Well spotted... Oh and there are a few other differences between this and the Original Genesis figure.

Here are a few I can think off the top of my head:

PBR material sets

Iray support

Dforce support

HD Morph support

An improved mesh

improved rigging

Asymmetry support

Industry standardisation in various areas

Honestly a unified mesh is a far better pathway to product support for a figure. The original Genesis had a number of issues in this area primarily around creating clothing that supported both shapes, but there were a few others too. The idea was solid back in 2011, it just had some technical limitations with the application of the idea to that figure. Hopefully Genesis 9 will resolve these issues giving end users a better experience with the unified mesh than the original Genesis figure delivered in 2011. 

I was going to comment but Razor beat me to it.

That said the reason the eyes etc are listed underneath is they are separate figures iirc.
