Denmark does the same. 3G has been shutdown, or mostly at least. 2G is kept running, with no plans to shut it down in the future.
Things that uses 2G:
- Electricity meters
- Alarm systems
- Cooling and heating systems
- Rat traps (?)
- And an absolute crap-ton of early "IoT" devices.
And it's considered a backup network, with better coverage and range than 4G/5G. It also makes sense as the country is actively starting to remove the old landlines. The first cables are actively been removed from the ground.
