Perhaps once major companies update their travel policies and there's clarity on when business travel will be picking up again.
I think they'll go with the demand they have right now, which is a higher mix of leisure and small business travelers. Which is why I don't think they will extend.

Why give away all kinds of free upgrade privileges to a bunch of people who only represent a possible future revenue stream, when you're doing just fine selling those seats for a few hundred $ more right now? I'm seeing mostly 100% full first cabins, with no upgrades off the waiting list right now.
