If you don't think this is a major problem with web services, you must have either not been around long, or don't use many of them.



"We can observe that many online services close" does not imply "People who make online services have a moral obligation not to close."


It's not a moral obligation. It's that there are structural reasons why most web services have a short lifespan.

That's a problem because it makes it hard to rely on any new service, and that's eroding user trust. At least among people I talk to, there's a lot more skepticism about new stuff than there was a few years ago.
