There's a few companies out there where I'd imagine this is exactly the same. In a lot of cases the whois privacy you buy is a separate service and doesn't even need to be attached to a domain, it can lie unused until you allocate to a domain. It allows people to switch whois between domains.

I still have domains where whois privacy runs on a different timeline from the domain itself, so I can see how this might happen. Why you wouldn't cancel your only whois services at the same time as the domains I don't know but I'm guessing age plays a factor in this one.
