The author didn't mention it, but restoring data from a database backup is a perfectly reasonable way to handle undeletes. By this I mean the situations that are "Oh crap, we didn't mean to delete that!" instead of usual business operations.
I've probably restored data from backup maybe 4 times in my career. I greatly prefer to do this on the rare one-off scenario than to deal with the overhead of soft deleting everything.

Yet, I often use soft-deletes because it allows people to undelete things from the software interface and not call me all day long. But that's not the most common reason I have for them. Normally it is because the data just can not be gone, and the full table is still important somewhere.
