I only know of two group of people, either incompetent or just plain dishonest.

Because they either argue that it is hard to design a database that allows deleting or anonymization, or it is that they're in the business of selling data and won't delete anything and rather lie to their user and customers.

I would be interested to know if there is any other argument for this.

The problem is dealing with software and databases that weren't designed for deleting and anonymization. I do not envy all the developers who are going to have to rewrite crappy legacy code to be compliant.
