No way for them to store data from users when severs are shut down

Ram is volatile = no power = all data lost

Unlike hard disks, data in RAM is not persistent.

When something is RAM only, it means that nothing is written to disk which consequently means that whenever that server is shut down, all data about your network traffic to their VPN servers are lost.

Data should age out of cache faster too. It’s a cool move I wish more VPNs would do. You can’t be forced to give up logs if you don’t have any.
