If they just released the db, I think there are be many who'd be happy to host the service. But knowing Google, they probably won't do shit.
That could probably cause more trouble that it’s worth.
The Internet Archive could archive them forever.
Archiveteam has had a project trying to archive all of them they've seen for a few years now. https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/URLTeam
How would that work if Google could the domain? Or are you saying they'd release the domain as well?
I don't expect that. It should be trivial to have a redirect addon.
