Why don’t people just delete old posts? Do the platforms prevent this somehow?

For one thing, in the case of Reddit, there are sites which exist to archive deleted posts and comments. I believe I've used https://www.removeddit.com/ in the past to read some deleted content.
I would imagine it's relatively affordable and easy for someone to scrape social media and store it all, forever.
