The [new] owners told customers that they didn’t know about the lifetime subscriptions when they bought VPNSecure, and they cannot honor the purchases.

I'm guessing their legal team consist of a a 19 year old paralegal, or whatever c-suite decided on this did not check with their actual lawyer.

... however, its terms of service names the company “HOLDXB Trading FZCO trading as VPN Secure, IFZA Business Park, Dubai - UAE.”

Aha, yeah they don't care and the service should be dead to anyone who uses VPN.
