Internet-connected software is unavoidably fragile. Remote APIs change and malicious threats evolve. If a company doesn't want to provide long-term maintenance to head off those problems, then they shouldn't be baking in internet-connected software in simple consumer products.

Really it's business people, and they haven't forgotten so much as they've recognized that software is more profitable.
