Huh, my 2018 S5 was just one long press to release the trunk. My 2019 RS5 is the same. I have one glossy and one matte key for both,
I'm guessing they did that to simplify the supply chain.
Don't know why it's different, but my keys also had the 2x label on the trunk button, as the ones linked above. What's the build date on your 2019 RS5?

Original keys supplied in the photo are labeled 1 & 2. Key labeled 3 was purchased & programmed by the dealer in Late 2019 and allowed key 2 to be buried in the car for the remote start. When I ordered key 3 I supplied the part number for the master (glossy w/ chrome surround) key, not the “textured” plastic that key 2 has.
All 3 keys open the trunk by a long-hold on the trunk button.
Now, The Boss and I have the same keys. I have one of those spring-loaded keychains where you can swap out keys. Off the ring, they look identical.
Cricut to the rescue!
Nice work. Yeah, we have 4 fobs total. We just use favorite key-rings.
Never heard of Cricut (looks interesting). However, I do have a nice-little Brother P-Touch graphics-capable thermal label printer.
2019 Q7 Prestige - one glossy key with aluminum surround, one matte black key
2022 A5 SB Prestige - two glossy keys with aluminum surround
So, it's not trim-related. They probably switched to 2 glossy keys 2019-2020.
I was lucky that I got my car soon after they were giving out two keys again.
About 95% of the time I just swing my foot under the rear end to open the trunk.
The other 5%, when I'm in the garage and do not have my key I use the trunk open button at the rear.
IOW, I don't use the remote to open the trunk/boot.
