You are assuming of course that the board have given signoff to actually deploy it across the whole fleet.

What is the business case for spending tens of millions of dollars to give away WiFi for free? Does that stack up with the current financial issues they face?

I regard free WiFi across the domestic Airbus and ATR fleets as something that is very much a nice to have rather than something that is essential for the business to offer.
