I'm pretty sure you're mistaken.

I can only speak about browser history sync, but it gets deleted after 6 weeks.

Someone broke something and it was producing mangled data. 6 weeks was the "cliff" for when mangled data stopped being visible.

You might be right, I'm always suspecting that they hoard as much data as they can. That would be a very googly thing to happen.

Mangling data is an interesting thing you raise. Would reveal some issues with their professionalism. Albeit after the disaster we watched today on their April's 1st joke, I wouldn't be surprised if indeed that was the (sad) case as you mention.. :/
