Could be, could be. Although it seems that only we (MMM2 owners) have been affected.
Personally, I'm inclined to say that the timing tells a rather different story, i.e. that abandoning MMM2 in 2013 (with the 2013w20 update) was a planned move:
2011 - Last cars with MMM2. RTI satnav option sold to MY11 owners with a promise of 2 free updates.
2012 - New sensus system launched, superseding MMM2.
2012 - Free update No. 1 for MY11 owners with MMM2.
2013 - Free update No. 2 for MY11 owners with MMM2, and last *ever* "planned" update.
When my MY11 car was sold, the roll-out of the new MY12 cars was already scheduled, presumably they were already in production. Plans for what to do with the older RTI systems after introducing sensus must already have been discussed.
