I dont think this is reasonable.There are many reasons as for why a nation would keep old subs.

And the most obveous one is for this nation prioritazing(spl?) their military modernization programs for other types of military equipment.(aircrafts, tanks etc.)

And the reasons i believe XXI not to be on service at other navies is that they would have to manucture parts especialy for them or make their entire submarines fleets consisting of this type or redisigned but esentialy a foreigh type of sub.Witch would mean to scrap all current boats they would have.

It is simply better to keep the large nubmers they have instead of scraping them in order to construct an entire new subarines (witch were made for atlatik use after all).And consdidering ther eis no Germany after ww2 it is no surpries that uboots werent on active duty after the war
