Curious what people think, should companies selling ongoing software subscriptions be legally required to disclose some kind of end of life or sunset timeline upfront, the way some physical products now have to disclose expected support windows

Genuinely think this should be standard practice, paying monthly for something with zero visibility into how long it'll actually be supported feels like a real information imbalance favoring the company

Hard to enforce in practice though, a company's own honest answer at signup time might just be we don't know yet, priorities change and committing to a firm date creates its own liability
