I suspect it's not time but money—they host the service on various cloud providers in various data centers so that latency is low. In order to pull that off economically they have to be doing some tricks that are only possible at scale, and if they're seeing a lot of natural attrition those techniques will stop working, and they'll probably end up footing an AWS/GCP/Azure bill that won't leave any margin left for the other expenses.
