I suspect the Accounts Department did the sums again and discovered why they'd be the first to offer such a scheme ; )

So maybe those who purchased the original Sky Glass on the basis  of being able to upgrade can make lawyers richer by having them take a case of misselling or false advertising or whatever

Possibly a tenuous argument for exiting a minimum contract term on a Gen 1 set, although outside the launch event the 'Swap' option was never mentioned in any contract terms or Sky advertising which I'm aware of (which may have perhaps a clue it wasn't going to happen)

They weren't the first though. Samsung introduced a TV upgrade program in 2018, allowing customers to update to a newer model of Samsung TV after two years. If I remember correctly it was for those who purchased a TV on a (similar to Glass) long term finance agreement. 

The Covid pandemic soon put a major spanner in the works and the entire program was abandoned, as per this still active web page:

One suspects that they perhaps realised, much like Sky have, that such a scheme is a lot more hassle than it's worth.
