Imagine someone building this for SaaS hosting--a perma-Heroku, or something like it. That's actually a huge value-add. Suddenly tinyStartupA doesn't need to convince largeCorpB that it's going to be around for forever. The service can exist in perpetuity without the company.
Complex repercussions obviously around acquisition, IP, and other business dimensions however. Maybe unworkable even. But I think there's a world where this actually exists and lowers the barrier to building business-critical software and selling to companies that need a 50-year commitment to risk you.
