You've extrapolated too far from their statement. Most people have probably been in this kind of situation and most of us have probably been burned by it at some point: Use a product for an edge case of its intended function and you risk losing that functionality at some point.
Vendors will generally cater for the masses. Where possible, avoid building your usage model around niche features. Assume that free products/features are a loss leader and will disappear at some point. Have a contingency plan if the at-risk feature is particularly important to you.
