Nothing on the web should be construed as permanent. Even GOOG, MSFT, and YHOO drop products, change features, etc. It's a risk everyone has to analyse when choosing third-party vendors (GOOG now charges for Maps, for example, and look how many people are revamping their apps to not use them). Both web and brick/mortar companies can suddenly close shop for a huge amount of reasons, and I have my doubts that "being so talented at what you do that you get bought out" is at the top of too many peoples' worry lists, IMO.
