Isn't caffeine in soda added in a relatively pure form in the end of the proces, unlike coffee/tea/cacao where it part of the 'source' of the end product? I don't think they have to substitute the caffeine for some decaf ingredient. If that's true, that would rule out your second guess.

Huh - that's actually good to hear. I thought they had to do the same creepy stuff they do to coffee to decaffeinate it, rather than just not adding it at all.

In that case I guess I've just got to train my brain to not immediately expect the caffeine high when drinking it
