It implies no such thing. You are saying that based on your doctrinal bias.Let’s take a closer look at your view on this.
In Matthew 16:24 Jesus is speaking directly to His disciples, then in vs 28 He say some shall not taste death. That implies some will die and some won’t die. Non of the disciples died before the Acts 1:9 ascension.
Looks like it had to be fulfilled after the ascension.
Jesus was not commenting one way or another on whether some of them standing there would die before seeing Him coming in His kingdom. He was simply saying some of them would not die before seeing Him coming in His kingdom while the rest would not see Him coming in His kingdom in the sense He was speaking about.
People miss the context of the verse by not continuing to read the verses which follow it which describe Jesuss' transfiguration where He gave Peter, James and John a glimpse of His coming in glory by appearing to them in His glory. That fulfilled what He said in Matthew 16:28.
