Cities: Skylines (Steam) - Some buildings can't be accessed right after unlocking because their category is locked

Describe your issue
Some buildings can't be accessed right after unlocking because their category is locked

What is your game version?
1.14.1-f2

What expansions do you have installed?
After Dark, Snowfall, Mass Transit, Parklife

What mods are you using?
None

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Sometimes buildings are unlocked at a certain milestone, but can't be accessed because their category is still locked. If this is intended, it's weird, the buildings should unlock at the same milestone as their category.
For example: I have the Train Stations CCP. The metro stations unlock at the Big Town milestone. But I cannot access them because the category Content Creator Packs in Public Transit is locked until Small City milestone.

Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.

No bug, as it says on your picture. Will unlock at population milestone 9000

That seems correct. It is like unlocking any other building. for example, you unlock power at the start, but it only unlocks wind and coal power, you need to advance milestones to get bigger/more efficient power buildings as your city grows.

That would make sense - I unlock the metro stations from the CCP, but not the train ones. And when the city grows I unlock the train stations. Like with the power - the category unlocks with its first buildings.
But the problem is, that I unlock the metro stations, as says the milestone popup, but they're still locked, their category requires larger pop than its buildings. I should've probably posted a picture of the metro stations being already unlocked.

Yes, the category will unlock there. But in this category, there are buildings that are already unlocked. I don't think it's a bug, it's just weird and probably won't be fixed because it's a minor problem.

So metro isn't unlocking according to the wiki?

Milestones - Cities: Skylines Wiki

Big Town for Metro
Small City for Trains.

Hubs vary for different milestones.

That's right, Metro is unlocked at Big Town (6.5k in this case). But Content Creator Packs tab (which contains Metro) unlocks at Small City (9k in this case). You unlock it at Big Town, but can't build until Small City. If I could access the buildings in Metro tab, then there would be no problem. But the only access is through Content Creator Packs tab. (Maybe I should've used the word 'tab' instead of 'category')
