Would anyone expect that they were anyway?

Even if you consider

  • sites getting bought up and rehosted elsewhere
  • sites changing names
  • personal throw-away WordPress sites
  • sites for educational purposes made by the students themselves
  • sites going bankrupt
  • news site, social media channels closing down

Can’t see why this isn’t very natural, and I’m actually surprised it’s not higher if you consider how fast that field is moving.

Shout-out to Archive.org for all the awesome work they do to backup what they can from the internet.

(Especially when some stack overflow answer to a question is just a link to some website that has either changed or no longer exists).
