This specific case is about people who have no idea they are interested in the data today (likely because they don't yet know it exists), needing it for research tomorrow. It's about how we should go about archiving public data rather than about whether somebody did a good job on their personal backups. And, if a company presents a data set as an accessible store of public information, what is a reasonable timeline for removing that service, especially when it is trivial for said company to maintain it for a reasonable sunset period. This is obviously extremely important information, and rug-pulling so quickly is borderline malicious. Even if it were about personal information, I would still find your comment short-sighted, because companies position themselves as reliable, and people rely on them because of this. Even if it's not always smart to go out in a bad neighborhood late at night in a very short skirt, there are moments when pointing it out borders on pathological.
