> Same with GDPR. I often ask companies to remove my data, and legally they should, but I highly doubt many of them do

I was talking once with a friend who deals with GDPR issues at their company. They said that they’re required to keep a record of deletion requests so it can be spelunked through vendors for a full deletion. This often creates more data than was originally deleted.
