Some fair points, but some 'crap data' has storage requirements orders of magnitudes from each others.

One short video can equal a year worth of emails for someone. Similarly those many webpages that don't get viewed often probably require only a negligible amount of resources to keep online and might help someone who'd otherwise be faced with linkrot.

Best to focus on the low hanging fruit.
