I’ve had all my submissions deleted when requested so not sure what the issue is

How does that work with downstream replies? Do they vanish as well or get attached to a sibling/parent of your comment?
And I've had that request denied. That you have to make a case to a single person who can choose what to do about it is the issue as I see it.
But that's not a legal issue, as long as they agree to deletion if you're CA/EU and your data is PII.

I agree on principle that all communication mediums should allow users to delete and edit their own posts. Retraction is speech.
