The latest SMETS 2 meters are also not comparable to the dumb ones. Also, you might want a 6 year old phone with dubious security updates but the vast majority of people do not.
Your point of keeping the old meters on "environmental grounds" just does not hold water. With smart meters you can encourage people to switch consumption from peak times and so reduce the need to burn fossil fuels to satisfy the peak demands. You can allow EV's to charge in periods when electricity is under utilized. The list goes on.
