The migration has been going on for multiple years (I believe more than 5). Anyone who wanted to keep their account would've done so.
So why not send a code to them before closing it for good so they have an option to redeem versus none at all.
They got sent a link before closing for good. That was their option to redeem. If they didn't in all that time, it's probably because they don't want to keep their account.
Keeping legacy systems costs money, they have no reason to keep those codes valid for 30 years just in case someone decided they wanted to keep their account after 30 years.
They gave users more than enough time to migrate. 3 years is a lot of time. In most Democratic countries elections come up every 4 years, it's almost a full election cycle.
That's an assumption that leads to corporate bullshit like this.
