Some are fine keeping older used cars while others are more accustomed to buying new regularly.
Even beyond Mustang as it all but guarantees that F-series will also retain ICE, even if at a reduced presence. Actually, I'm willing to bet it was the other way around that triggered this. F-series buyers want to keep ICE and so it'll stick around and Mustang just gets to keep going with it too as a happy byproduct.

This ^ It's the same reason ford kept offering V8 in the F-150 even with the massive push on EcoBoost. Ford knows there are truck customers that just won't consider a truck without a V8. So keeping ICE and V8 for F-150 means Mustang can piggyback off it.
