I think any company that is sunsetting a product with existing customers still using it should offer full refunds or a way to operate it without the company.
Cloud services have no incentive to continue operating unless they charge 'rent' as servers and maintenance is not free. However, if they choose to use proprietary ways to protect their IP, they should also have an obligation. If they choose to not have that obligation, they lose the IP and open source it.
