No they won't. Companies aren't beholden to their commitments from advertisements in perpetuity. In the first place, someone would need to sue, or begin a class action. That'd drag out for years, and almost certainly lose.
Even without a lawsuit, is it worth the hassle?
They’d lose a lot of trust in case they ever wanted to do something similar in future.
I’d be furious with any company if they pulled that sort of shit with a product I owned.
On the other hand, feature parity means that the full potential of the X because everything also has to run on the S. So all the things that the X can do that the S can't will, probably, not be used much, if at all, going forward, just to avoid this kind of hassle.
Great deal for people who bought the S, but sucks shit for people who paid a couple hundred bucks more for the X, for features that simply won't be utilized.
