This is simply not true.
Practices may vary by organisation and type of removal requests, but the claim that no removals occurs is absolutely false.
For legally-proscribed content, platforms will go to extraordinary lengths to remove not only the backing store but all possible CDN copies of content. This can ammount to millions or billions of items of content (multiple sizes and versions, replicated across multiple geographic locations).
Other instances in which UGC / USC (user generated/supplied content) have been removed are quite public, as with Google's shutdown and data deletion of its Google+ social network.
