Or your reputation or your ethical and possibly legal duty to protect your clients?
Compartmentalization is part of that.
Protect your clients by fixing the product even if the engineers don't care much anymore, not by suddenly discontinuing something your clients came to depend upon, without even giving them alternatives.
Most of the time projects are not neatly encapsulated like that.
Shouldn't they be there in the first place?

Even better, host on your competitor's servers.

Reputation is a form of infrastructure.
