Many businesses and professional individuals operate under a legal requirement to keep records that can't be satisfied if they are too reliant on SSD storage. Also, deleting information after the commencement of legal proceedings can be a criminal offense.

Undeleting data was never guaranteed on hard disks or SSDs and thus doesn't satisfy data retention requirements anyway. RAID isn't backup and forensic tools aren't archives.
