It's not entirely clear yet the effect on existing phones. This may be about full release updates for the OS (eg from 8.1 to 9.0) rather than just not getting a Maps update. And to be honest, Android is notoriously bad for full OS updates to existing phones.

Note also that I don't trust Huawei, or the Chinese government.
