Can you describe more precisely how you're defining "soft-delete" here?

data is still stored somewhere but any routing to the data is disabled and the entity is disassociated.

Could you point towards an authoritative source for this claim?

As a consumer, if I request deletion of my data, I expect it to be actually deleted - not just have a "deleted" flag set.

With soft-deletion, the data is still right there, ready to be abused after a breach.
