They can ship a downscaled version of the data for older devices. Standard algorithms like Douglas-Peucker are simple to implement and the quality is bound to be good enough (certainly better than the alternative, which here is nothing at all).
Yes, that's some work. But a build pipeline to produce varying qualities of assets is not something TomTom should be a stranger to.
