That's insidious. Does it even make sense to revive data that has been removed based on current configuration?
Even if the owner is the same, allowing the site to be archived going forward isn't the same thing as permitting it retroactively.

Wonder how you'd overcome that flaw, is there a history of domain name ownership?

Maybe we need a whois.archive.org.

Just delete the things when requested. No need to make it more complicated than that.

When requested by who? The current owner of the domain? Do they own what was on that domain 20 years ago?
What if you lost your domain, but owned it in the past? Can you delete stuff from that era?

I’ve requested old domains of mine to get removed from archive.org and at least as of a few years ago it was an all or nothing thing. There was no surgical way to say “only remove content from between 1995 and 2005 when I owned the domain”. Maybe things have changed since then, though.
Hidden. Even when you request for them to remove stuff.
Had domain, stuff got archived, asked for them to remove it, added robots.txt. Domain lapsed. Someone else picked it up. their robots.txt now permissive, old stuff that I requested for them to remove is now visible.
