Erm, that's... no, not what they mean. A "lifestyle business" is a colloquial term for a business that is built to stick around, not on an aggressive growth trajectory, and which can provide a reasonable lifestyle for its proprietors, but not a meteoric rise, "fuck-you-money-providing" exit event. It's a business that's a going concern: a company that is profitable, healthy, and well-rounded, but not spectacular, and not a startup that is burning investor capital on the way to their hopeful exit.
I think you might have gotten caught up on the phrase and extrapolated quite a bit of meaning from that which isn't there. It's a pretty common phrase, and it has nothing to do with luxury goods or providing "lifestyle" products to people.
