Likely some sort of encryption/privacy issues.

Since the software version no longer works, they wouldn't be able to do a restore anyway. Keeping their old data on the live servers longer could be a liability.

(just a guess, but i imagine it's something along these lines)

The Backblaze software doesn't handle restores, it just backs things up. To restore, you download zip files of selected folders from the website.
