I'm not so sure about this being a good thing from the user's perspective. The fact that it's possible to recover deleted data from HDDs has saved people from grief over years of lost work. Not everyone is smart about backups.

If being able to recover files you accidentally delete and not doing backups is more important to you than speed, then you are still free to use a hard drive. I bet the vast majority of people would not make that choice.

Forensic analysis of your hard drive for forgotten but not erased data is not an acceptable backup policy.

Many people (both criminals and victims of criminals) have also been burned by thinking that data they thought they deleted was recoverable in this way.
