The more recent previous nodes are too new for companies like the autos as they want 20+ year old process nodes like 90nm+. So having excess 14nm capacity, for example, doesn't give them what they want since they can't just retrofit the fab for 130nm. However, not having made arrangements with fabs to keep the older nodes around contractually, they (customers like the autos) may not have an option other than paying to redesign their chips for newer process nodes in at least some cases at this point.
