The 550 concept didn’t exist until 2019 and no new 700’s or 550’s have rolled off the assembly line since then. I know Yet they are flying. I know That’s because every single 550 is a CRJ 700 that was either owned by Mesa or Skywest which has had an interior modification and a new W&B issued for a restricted weight in the 50 seat config. All 550’ are converted 700’s I know.
You can google this yourself

Really? I really don’t know how to say this more clearly. The 550 is not a 700 The discussion here centered around a fictional STC that made 700s into 550s. I simply pointed out the 550 is its own Make meaning it wasn’t made via STC. HULAS doesn’t own the 550 STC because the 550 didn’t come in to existence via STC.
