Despite our frustration, you can’t deny that it’s among the top 10 requested features anywhere. Snapchat pretty much made its name on convincing people that they did it. Telegram and Signal have “Delete for me” and “Delete for everyone” options, etc. One could argue that the right implementation is to not have a delete option at all. Having a delete option gives people the false idea that their data was deleted, but no one can guarantee you that. Pretty sure this makes people even more annoyed and outraged. Imagine the typical responses you will see on a HN post titled “Twitter now is refusing to let you delete your tweets” and Elon Musk saying something like your last sentence to people.
