So you believe that your website made today will still be a good marketing tool 100 years from now?

Look, how old is internet right now? How much did it change since the beginning? How often do you look at a product online on an early-90s website and think "oh, that's good marketing"?

I don't think any serious business should see this as a "perfect use case". Just a big waste of money, that is.

No, the business will be closed. It would just serve as an archive of history.

This depends on how much you value the history.

Honestly, we are generating too much information, have problem archiving them all and too low attention span to consume/sort them out

I don't see the point in keeping the marketing material for dead companies. Why would you use resources on that?

As far as history is concerned, a wikipedia page describing the company and it's activities would most likely suffice.
