it applies to Abraham but later people could be severed from it.
The covenant with Abraham is everlasting.
The simple effect of descendants who didn't do circumcision is that they were cut off from their people
without ending the covenant enjoyment by Abraham.
Even a further consideration is that the benefit of Jews under the Gen 17 covenant may have been lost by a period of time where circumcision didn't occur. Yet the covenant benefit to Abraham remains perpetual.
