Sure, but that's not a problem for the short term, and these guys can beef up support to keep it going if needed, just not invest in new features or chasing competitors.

Just like an old building, their business model is to sweat the asset until it's no longer viable. In the meantime, the cashflow goes directly to the bottom line.
