I suspect they are providing it for free, but also selling it.

Are you sure? I'd expect this to be legal, even if they're required to delete if users make a legal request

GDPR, and right to be forgotten (a.k.a. removal of all and any PII including account)

Well, there can be administrative fees. It is a right, but that does not imply that it is cost-free. As a EU citizen you have the right to settle in france, but the registration process in the village you need to pay.
