They absolutely could be segmenting features by generation even if they could introduce them into earlier products and it's pretty normal across the industry to do so, but "well, it seems to use the accelerometer" provides no evidence of that on its own.
Without knowing more details about the implementation, it may rely on combining data from other sensors as well, it may need a certain frequency/resolution from a sensor that's not available in earlier generations of hardware, it might place too much demand on compute or power to maintain prior products' expected behavior, etc
