AIUI it wasn't officially released in the UK at the time they gave up so I can understand them being less inclined to offer payouts.
That said there is prior art on this kind of thing. Left pondian VW Diesel owners are getting their engines fixed and something like US$1000+ compensation. Right pondian owners (like me - my car has an EA189 engine in it) are still waiting for the sodding fix and probably won't see a fucking penny out of them. I'm not a big fan of the opulent compensation culture but they should treat all affected owners roughly the same not limit payouts to the most rabidly litigious.
