I have a 2021 Yukon XL Denali with a blown front left strut.I was positive it had magnetic ride but with zero luck finding replacements for a 4WD model I called the dealership. After giving them the VIN, he said it was a regular strut. I looked again and all 4 struts have wires coming off the shock absorber. Is there a chance the RPO code from the VIN is wrong?

you must have read them the wrong vin or they entered it wrong, all denali's have electronic suspension
the codes will be in your RPO list

Double checked and they read it back to me. Tried with an independent shop and they showed same thing. There’s no RPO in the glove box.

there is a qr code, they do not put the list in the glove box anymore in most cases.
and who ever told you that is a standard shock was wrong, call back and ask to speak to the parts department

This sounds more like suspension "woes" than "whoas."

This shock appears to be readily available.
