PyPI doesn't currently prevent deletions at all, so a maintainer can just flat out delete their stuff if they want. Though we are discussing if we want to tighten that up at all. I would say that in the > 10 years of time I've been an admin on PyPI and even longer that I've been involved in Python's Packaging, I've never once seen anyone, but individuals placed front and center in who we're attempting to serve first and foremost. Businesses and other large orgs do come up from time to time, and we've generally been pretty good at making decisions that allowed those businesses to solve their problems on their own, without requiring the rest of the ecosystem to do it for them. In other words, our features we add for businesses tend to be unblocking them from being able to implement something they want, rather than taking on the responsibility of whatever thing they want.
