Couldn't you make that same argument for any online service? "I own the database and servers, its my account that I operate on the user's behalf. Therefore they cannot delete the account".

You can make that argument, and many do, and some courts may even be suckered into falling for it when push comes to shove. In a more jurisprudent analysis, however, it relies on a false parity between consumer and company in negotiating power.
Legislation like the GDPR is motivated in part to nullify such arguments.
