    The article you linked (twice) has this text (highlight is mine):

    The term also may be used to refer to the previous status of the Swan Islands, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, as well as the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands when it existed

    And a bit further in the Former Insular Areas it lists:

    Puerto Rico: military government, 1899–1900; insular government, 1900–1952; became a commonwealth on July 25, 1952

    It contradicts what you’re saying about Puerto Rico still being an Insular Area
