They could definitely do this, but I don't think any of them do (or will for quite a while). It's perfectly acceptable for a business to continue sending magstripe transactions if they want. The business just takes the responsibility for chargebacks. This would just look like a transaction where either the reader didn't have the functionality or the merchant decided not to use it.

I forget the details of the contracts they have with the banks, but the chip adds extra protection to the credit card company, and the PIN adds extra protection to the business. Which is why people are annoyed that the credit card companies want to stop at chip & signature.
