Actually, ATC is not required to maintain communications with you,

this case.
ATC is required to, that's why.
When you're on flight following (traffic advisories) and have stop
talking to ATC, they are required to begin a search and rescue operation?
Yes, if the loss of comm or radar was unexpected.
