Especially since, at the same time, ADOT renumbered US 89 between US 60 and AZ 77 to AZ 79?

What about renumbering it as AZ-68?

Of course, this is water long since under the bridge.

Depends. If the use of GPS in this country freezes route numbering in amber, then you'd be right. At the same time, since 1992, Laughlin and Bullhead City have lost something along the lines of 2/3 of its visitors per year (from 5 million/year in the early 1990s to about 1.75 million/year in the 2020s). They're likely desperate  to get a new generation of RV and casino tourists there, and route re-numbering along with proper signage along I-40 and Needles city streets may help.
