Really good point. Though I would argue that most deadlined life goals have deadlines only because of mortality itself. I’m trying to think of an example of a life goal with deadline even if immortality is achieved, but it seems hard to find one.
The 2nd may have a (close) deadline, the 1st might have a distant deadline like the sun burns out, or something closer like before you die, or ‘an AGI revolution (like the industrial revolution) starts’ (assuming you think AGI will happen before the sun burns out).
That is false for a lot of goals, including goals that have a deadline.

Two versions of a goal:
World Peace
Preventing a war you think is going to happen
