While I share where your head is at, in this case 121.5 MHz will not be reallocated for some other purpose. In addition to its use for the older ELTs, it is still the emergency voice frequency that pilots are taught by regulation to use when transmitting MAYDAY or other requests for help.
Not to mention that it’s right in the middle of the VHF band that is allocated for aircraft voice transmissions, such as with control towers and air traffic control centers.
