Slightly odd as you'd imagine it'd be most useful in rural areas for extreme weather/flooding type events that may not have 4G.

2G and 3G networks will all have been retired by their operators by 2033 at the latest. Presumably el gov didn’t think it useful enough to insist the technology was installed on them. In any case, 3G was never rolled out as extensively as it might have been (arguably, Nu Labour prioritised high spectrum bids over onerous licence requirements around geographical coverage). Rural areas are the very place you never get a 3G signal.
