I'd imagine this is one reason why they're extending the free service. It would be a PR nightmare for Apple if that were to occur.

But I think the biggest reason why is because the 14 models are still actively being sold by Apple themselves. The Emergency SOS feature is a big marketing point for those models so I can see them dropping the free service as they get dropped from sale.
