Is this true though? Doesn’t pass the sniff test since most people last a lot longer than most companies.

I checked and the probability of death for an American in their 30s (median American is 37 years old) is under 0.2% in any year. I think there’s a far larger than 1 in 500 chance that Notion goes under or is acquired and cancelled.
