The main problem is that there’s no business case. It does not provide value to the company to delete your data, so why would resources be allocated to it?

The only solution is that the fines are higher than the costs for implementing a deletion process.

Even in Europe, it's like "oh,you didn't comply? Well here's a 700 euro fine. Now don't do it again."
