It appears that lifetime means lifetime of the product rather than lifetime of the customer. Is anyone really that surprised?

  This is pretty common with consumer products. If something has a "lifetime warranty," that "lifetime" is typically a defined period of time (e.g.-seven years), not until you die.

    Joyent specified the length of "lifetime" as "as long as we exist" in the offer.

  Yes, apparently so.

  The folks who read the offer are probably surprised. http://web.archive.org/web/20060203030930/http://www.textdrive.com/mixedgrill http://web.archive.org/web/20060203030930/http://www.textdri... Q: How long is it good for? A: As long as we exist.

  According to michaelhoffman, the FAQ said this: "Q: How long is it good for? A: As long as we exist." Seems pretty clear cut to me. (Not sure this is accurate, though. I did find it repeated in a forum discussing Joyent in 2006.)
