The law requires them to have parts for reasonably anticipated demand over the next 10 years. If they can reasonably show that only 1 9-5 radio unit was needed in the past 10 years, they only need to have one in stock for the next 10 years, and once it's sold then that's it.
Honestly, I don't think it's that concerning. For a high turnover or failure prone part like a DI cassette, the aftermarket will fill in the niche whether or not GM produce a sufficient supply, and for a low turnover part like a 9-5 radio, they're already so highly priced you probably wouldn't want a new one outside of warranty work anyway and there are plenty of used ones available.
I don't know how the law effects part pricing, but given that GM will need to have enough stock for 10 years, I don't see why they wouldn't want to sell some of it. I suspect the situation would be similar to any discontinued GM model, it just so happens that these wear a Saab badge.
