Doesn't the current sutta include samadhi?
Yes, sorry, that's what I meant. The current sutta in question includes samadhi, whereas the other lists of things worthy of respect do not. I'm wondering why that is.
Not sure. See footnote [314] for another sutta that lists “lack of mutual respect and deference" instead.
Might be interesting to look at parallels....

The Chinese parallels (both SA = T2 no. 99 and ASA = T2 no. 100) do not include samadhi,
according to Choong Mun-keat's article, 'A comparison of the Pali and Chinese versions of the Kassapa Samyutta, a collection of early Buddhist discourses on the Venerable Kasyapa', in
Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, vol. 27, Issue 2, 2017, p. 307:
" ... SA 906 = ASA 121 = SN 16.13 specify five factors that lead to the non-disappearance (or disappearance) of the true Dharma. ...
According to the SN version, the five things for which monks (bhikkhū), nuns (bhikkhuṇī), male lay followers (upāsakā), and female lay followers (upāsikā) dwell with respect are: 1. the teacher (satthar), 2. the teaching (Dhamma), 3. the assembly (sangha), 4. the training (sikkhā), and 5. concentration (samādhi).
The SA version refers to monks dwelling with respect and support (供養 gongyang) for: 1. the Buddha/teacher, 2. the teaching, 3. the training, 4. the instructions, and 5. the followers of the holy life who are praised by the Buddha. The ASA version is similar to the SA version, but does not explicitly refer to only the monks dwelling with respect and support towards the five factors. "
