Why is this? Is this due to the Spartan-IV’s being introduced and it is under the assumption that most of them conscripted into the S-IV program? Will we ever see them again?

Maybe there’s little to almost no reason for them to be ODST’s anymore. After all the Spartan IV program is totally mainstream for all the military. What was it Dr. Halsey said in episode 4?
“Some are closer than others.” Meaning, she don’t think they’re worthy of being matched to the originals. Also means, that the selections of being a Spartan has never been wider.
Considering the Sp Ops videos are suggesting that the Spartan IV program is basically a bunch of grunts given some muscles and power armour, I think it is fair to assume that the ODST troopers would naturally progress into the program.
It would also be why they’re (read: some) not considered by Halsey to be true Spartans, as they weren’t grown into it, just gifted it. They still have their egos etc.
