Many operators around the word are ditching 3g but still keeping 2g.
It is main/backup connection in so many iot and older automation devices that it won’t be going away anytime soon.
And yes, both my 2110 and 3310 I alternate in my cars glove compartment can still call emergency services number without sim card.

Even when they shut down 2G access it will probably just be commercial use but they’ll keep it for emergency service. It still has excellent coverage and the infrastructure is more trouble to remove than it’s worth.
