You have a bit of an entitlement issue.
So it makes zero sense to make that reference. You could say the same after you've eaten in a restaurant for 3 years, paid for your meals and then the restaurant goes out of business for whatever reason. You still got what you paid for and you're not entitled to a perpetual continuation of that opportunity to eat at that particular restaurant.
As opposed to say using a paid email account, getting it embedded in your workflow, spreading the address to all your contacts and then one day the company decides mail is no longer important to them and shuts it down. In such cases you could reasonably say that you expected the service to continue because you paid for it and make some connection (you'd still be wrong, but that's another point).
Remember that famous 'idlewords article[0]? I recall it making some circles around HN and the widely held conclusion was that free successful services are likely to disappear at a moment's notice, while paid successful services are unlikely to do so. Of course it is not true - the reason why is obvious when you've lived in the same apartment for more than few years and noticed how often shops - small and big - open up, and then close down. No service is forever. Rare are those who last more than few years.
But even if it's wrong, this argument about paid stuff having significantly longer lifespan was widely repeated, and was believed by many.
