I'm relatively sure that we could fire everyone but one person from our company and keep our site running (we have a very small team and site with, so that's "only" firing like 85% of the company).
The problem would be that we wouldn't have any sales, product management, design, proper support, etc. "The site literally functions" is a very low bar and not nearly enough to keep revenues where they need to be, let alone actually grow and advance the company.
Come to think of it, I have a better example. I used to work for a company (Highrise) that no longer exists - it was shut down by our parent company, and no employees are working on the product. New signups have been turned off, but it's still running and people are still using it. I can't say for certain absolutely no effort is being put into it, but I'm fairly sure it's pretty minimal, and it just keeps going. It's going to wither on the vine, but we never really had that many server issues to begin with if no one was touching anything, and so it can just kinda keep going with 0 staff.
