My original point included companies that provide us with nothing. I haven’t been a customer of Origin Energy in four years, but they still had sensitive data that recently got breached. Why are they allowed to keep that apparently valuable data for free?

Data is often required to be stored for audit purposes. Audits are also part of why you don’t usually delete records from a database.
And you’re assuming they were profiting off that data. Not every company that stores it sells it.
