The question as stated in title, why?

The discussion centers on the application of the de Broglie wavelength in the context of both relativistic and non-relativistic physics. Participants explore the implications of using the de Broglie wavelength formula, λ = h/p, and its relationship to momentum in different frameworks, as well as the distinction between phase velocity and group velocity in wave mechanics.
Participants express varying interpretations of the relationship between phase and group velocities, and there is no consensus on the implications of these concepts for the de Broglie wavelength. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the clarity of these relationships.
There are limitations in the discussion regarding the assumptions made about the applicability of the de Broglie wavelength in different contexts, as well as the definitions of phase and group velocities. The mathematical relationships presented are not fully resolved.
