Agreed that people should not just hand over personal data, however humans make mistakes and may later that it was a decision that they only now realize was not in their best interest. People open accounts/share personal data when they have to for work/business and then no longer work for that company, or they think they have to, or they have been coerced/tricked via dark patterns.
I've been deleting accounts and requesting my personal data be purged from accounts I created 5 to 10+ years ago - before I was aware of good digital hygiene and that these accounts have information that can later become a liability (whether it's personal/financial data that's been hacked, or the company sells my data to 3rd parties/marketers, or the company is bought out by another company with different privacy polices).
