The current system interferes with research, with preservation, and with accessibility.

Once we have other solutions, phasing it out should be possible, but until then short fixed terms may be a workable compromise. With anonymous works, collective works, authors disappearing, etc. life of the author was not, is not, and cannot be practical.
