The difference is that deleting them would mean that they're gone forever, and if he didn't have backups he's screwed. Shadowbanned means that he can still access his code and move it elsewhere even if he doesn't have backups. It also means that if he gets the shadow ban reversed, the code will once again be available. If it were deleted, that would not be possible.

"When I log into my account, it's all there, the code, the issues, everything (read: shadowbanned) so once this is resolved it should be seamless for you."

"It’s important to note I didn’t lose access to my account, all the repositories are there, issues, pull requests, stars but I’m effectively shadow banned, I’m the only one who can see it."
