That feels okay to me?

It is, though 2 years is a little short. I just got back into my very first Yahoo e-mail not long ago and that wouldn't have been possible with a policy like this.

But, they have so many that have been stagnant for so long so I'm not really faulting them for this particular move.

Microsoft killed off my pre-MS Hotmail account years back. Google’s got lots of company with the 2 years rule.
