There is a way to delete your data from Google or ms. Not Apple. BTW, there is no way to delete apple Id. Seriously try doing it. You cannot.

Not sure why you are being downvoted, but as someone who did try deleting an appleid, there is no self service way of doing so. Basically ended up removing all possible data; and filling the rest with fake values. Finally I changed the password to some random string. Not sure how much aux/opaque data remains that I could not see (eg location services), but this was secondary throwaway account, so I didnt care much.

This must be one of those "alternative facts" I keep hearing about.

I literally just now created, and then deleted, an Apple Id. It's trivial. Why do you think it isn't?

You can call AppleCare and have your Apple ID deleted any time you want.
