Eventually, but I don't think any time soon ;)

FindMyPast (Bright Solid) spent an awful lot of money transcribing the 1921 census.
Why should they give it away to Ancestry?

It will governed by the length of the exclusivity agreement awarded to FindMyPast by The National Archives under the contract to digitise and transcribe the census.

Edit: FindMyPast have exclusivity until 2025 according to TNA.
