It's one sided. They only have to allow exporting. Either via a data dump file or a direct transfer to another service.

It's implied that the importing side will make this work on their own since they only benefit from allowing data imports to onboard new customers while the exporter is losing their customer.

There is no "either". The user has to have the ability to do both. See my reply to Jeremy's comment.
