The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you've already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

It's not possible to make changes to a digital contract. The only option is to not make the "purchase" and acquire it elsewhere.

More people should let the service provider know that their contract sucks and that they refuse to pay for the service under the proposed conditions. Most people don’t even read the contract, so I don’t think the situation is going to improve any time soon.
