The AOA rep didn't seem to think that logic was built into the 2021 update to prevent it from working. So, I agreed to make one last try of installing the 2021 update after a Factory Reset of the Map Data in the MMI - but without success. I will be on 2020/2021 for the duration. Martigary is probably right - the update is reading the license.
I re-read the TSB which talks about needing the dealer to do this last full update (thank you AOA for sending me the files!). They also mention needing an SVM activation after 5 years (but it doesn't seem applicable yet for me).

$$$ - completely overpriced. Plus the navigation voice recognition is close to worthless for me. It cannot recognize addresses without numbers (e.g. XYZ Hospital) and even with numbers it gets it wrong > 50% of the time - so I start shouting at it . I am using Google Maps through (Wireless) Android Auto.

How did you do a factory reset of the nav database? A few weeks ago my map data became corrupted and I ended up going to the dealer to get navigation working again. I am just curious about the factory reset because that might have saved me a trip to the dealer. Under Settings - Factory Settings I see 2 possibilities: reset Navigation settings and reset Navigation and online memory. Do one of those reset the nav database? TIA.

I was worried for a week or so. Fingers crossed...If it doesn't work or live up to your expectations, my reputation will be compromised 😱

Download Sources for Map Data
Given Audi's poor handling of map updates, it's no surprise that there are several active threads regarding this topic. While browsing them I found three posts where people had made map downloads available from their personal cloud drives. See the following posts:
