The Magus and Summoner read this way because they are Legacy classes, and have yet to get a Remaster pass.
Legacy classes did not include the text about 4 free ability boosts at Level 1 because it was already part of the attribute/ability score calculation rules. The segment was changed from Level 5 to Level 1 in the Remaster not as a rules change, but as a clarification to make it easier to build from a class, rather than from the character build instructions.
Yes, Magus and Summoner do get 4 free ability boosts at Level 1. The classes are just formatted differently because they are from an older version of Pathfinder 2E.
(Also, this is a lovely example of why Magus and Summoner need a Remaster pass.)
TY! That makes sense.
