Default Southeastern Railway staving off Oyster PAYG

I'm at the end of my tether with my local train operating company,
Southeastern Railway (SER hereafter).

They only took over the franchise 9 months ago but they signed up to it
just before the government decided that all future franchises would
mandate acceptance of Oyster PAYG, which basically means that if SER
won't adopt Oyster voluntarily, they won't be legally compelled to for
something like ten years! (As if we didn't suffer enough through the
Connex years...)


Question: would someone who currently has an SER annual season ticket issued
for travel between a station within Greater London and 'London Terminals'
only (i.e. no bus or tube travel at all) end up paying more or less for
their weekday only, peak hours only travel to and from London if Oyster were
introduced at SER-served stations?
