You can still remove a repo and keep backups yourself. Allowing it through GH makes it very easy to exploit this by archiving/unarchiving repos constantly.

The problem for Github was that the best place to "keep backups yourself" was Bitbucket. I archived a number of inactive projects from Github to Bitbucket. But that gets tedious, so why not start them on Bitbucket in the first place?
