I think Apple knows this as well, that’s why everyone is getting it free for another year.

It also comes less than a week after Qualcomm ends its deal with Iridium to offer a similar emergency SOS satellite feature. This extra free year has likely been in consideration for a long time, but the timing of this announcement is likely Apple rubbing salt in Qualcomms wound.
