Absolutely, just like I can live with minimum wage.

And companies can still stop selling the thing. They just need to keep the cloud servers running and maintaining their integrations with the rest of their code.

If maintaining servers for 5 years is the tipping point for them to judge that the product won't be profitable and therefore won't release it, then yeah it doesn't sound like it should be worth selling in the first place.

I can live with companies not turning my 2-year-old device into a doorstop, yeah.

Minimum wage laws work great. I live in the country with the highest minimum wage in the world, every country should be like this.
