Damn, if the intent of electrifying the fleet is to be more ecologically friendly, allowing these older vehicles to be recirculated seems like a compelling thing to do. I suppose the weird configuration of these vehicles doesn't make it a very good option as a personal vehicle, so destroying them is probably just as ecological as selling them to hobbyists like me. It will be sad to see these things disappear from existence though. They've been a part of my life since I was a kid.

Why do you think that? These are terrible general purpose vehicles that have hundreds of thousands of miles on them already and have atrocious fuel efficiency even at what they are good at doing; start-stop driving.
Continuing to use these for another 50k miles is probably worse for the environment than buying a brand new hybrid or electric vehicle.
