I guess it's too much to ask the richest company on the planet to keep a list of a few accounts indefinitely. I'm sure that database is a whole gigabyte sized and maintaining it requires a whole person to check in on it once in a while. Obviously they can only afford that level of effort for a year or two. And we're only taking about removing access from millions of people to something they paid good money for, and also doing it because. Yeah, I'm with you on this one, totally not their fault.

The richest company on the planet is Walmart.

I think that depends on your metric.

Market cap, revenue, profit, assets? They will all have a different leaderboard.

False. It's Microsoft.

  • Microsoft has the highest Market Cap
  • Walmart has the highest Revenue
  • Saudi Aramco has the highest Profit

"Richest" isn't really a term you can compare without further clarification.
