It’s like most lifetime warranties. They’re not what they seem to mean colloquially. They have a contractual meaning.

Or my grocery store that has certain products with signs "Always $n" but over the past 5+ years n has increased regularly and dramatically.

I think with some it’s the lifetime of the product line. If it’s sunset, no longer sold; lifetime ends when support ends.
