Starting in 2004 the 9-5 calls for the same GM LL 025A spec oil that the 9-3 calls for, rather than the synthetic blend used previously. Thus the change interval had to be made longer to keep the sludge rate up.
yes, they're nuts. FWIW, typical 9-3SS users with their oil monitors are reporting around 15K indicated change intervals ... with 7 liters of oil in the sump and almost 100% removed by draining. The 9-5 holds 5 liters and one of them doesn't come out when you open the drain plug.
