Corporations are rarely made to do anything, unless some court judgement forces them. More likely, corporations die because they couldn't adapt and survive.

Any legacy web entity is at risk of disappearing sooner than later, because most actual web trafic (that isn't bot made) is driven by people born after the web was created, who couldn't care less about why and how the web came to be. They are running with it and breaking it (as well as other things) as they see fit.
