You can "deactivate" your account and delete all of your posts individually, which is effectively equivalent to deleting your Threads account.

Not to the EU, or Australian privacy laws either I suspect. You need to be able to request your data be removed entirely.

From a practical sense it isn't equivelant either, because if I want to reduce my risk of being affected by a Threads data breach, totally valid reason to delete an account you don't use, then my data would need to be removed entirely.
