The first part of your comment is an extremely vague theoretical that pretty much applies to any piece of software, not Windows in particular. It is not based on any actual evidence that such a thing will happen. You might as well bring up the possibility of a massive solar flare completely wipes out all computers preventing people from running Windows indefinitely, it is also a possibility preventing users from running Windows 10 forever.

The second part isn't based in reality at all. Windows 10 can be installed entirely offline.

How does it get activated? Or do you mean forever being locked out of, e.g., Edge settings and being able to turn off broken transparency effects?

I'm not going to link to any of it here, but there's also loads of cracked slmgr.vbs scripts out there that will easily activate your Windows install offline.
