I think this is an indicator that large centralized companies are starting to see that users' are valuing privacy and this is them signaling that they are part of the solution, when in reality this is more of a publicity stunt or a check box (so they an say, "see, we care about your privacy") than anything.

Or perhaps, more accurately, due to following legal requirements (GDPR) and then not keeping the feature regional.

Maybe this is what will force companies to understand that stored user data is both an asset and a liability.
