Yes, they are obligated because that's what a lifetime subscription means even if they added snotty fine print in a EULA.

And what court is going to force them to run servers forever and keep updating the software?
Federal courts, and probably state courts.

And the federal court is going to force a provider never to shut down a service?
You can't Socrates your way into a philosophical win here, especially by repeating the same tapped vein of questions. A bait-and-switch of lifetime service for a fee to a monthly service for a fee for the same feature set is not some precedent setting benchmark nor a useful time spent arguing on the internet about. Some people are rightfully still upset by the switch. Let me suggest we move on since you've not realized we can agree to disagree yet.
