I hate those "features" because they blur the line of user control. You sent me a message, you shouldn't be able to decide to reach into my device and delete it.

It's okey if there's a feature where I can automatically and by default cooperate with your "deletion requests", but it should be possible to disable it.

I've always advocated that it be performed with consent. Both parties must consent. But I'd also advocate for a default on, since that is the position of higher security/privacy.
