It has something mysterious about it!

Of course, but in Rausis' case his GM title was removed without it had been found he obtained it illegally. So, yes, it is possible to lose a legally obtained title, but this requires some severe misbehaviour. Inactivity on chess sites usually does not count as such.

May I ask again: where is the source, stating that Lichess "stopped giving it out"?
