Usually, as with turning off location history, I feel this only hurts the user, as I don't believe any relevant parties won't have access to the deleted entries if the need arises.

The only person who doesn't have access to that data will be the subject the data originated from.

This is what it boils down to for me.

Plausible deniability.

“We don’t have your data because you told us to delete it. Chortled chortle.”
