It's important that "delete all my information" also deletes everything after the user logs in for the first time.
Also, I'm not sure that Apple would allow it. They insist that deletion remove all traces of the user. As far as I know, there's no legal mandate to retain anything, and the nature of our demographic, means that folks could be hurt badly by leaks.
So we retain as little information as possible -even if that makes it more difficult for us to adminster, and destroy everything, when we delete.
The risk you have here is one of account re-use, and the method I'm suggesting allows you to close that hole in your armor which could in turn be used to impersonate people whose accounts have been removed at their request. This is comparable to not being able to re-use a phone number once it is returned to the pool (and these are usually re-allocated after a while because they are a scarce resource, which ordinary user ids are not).
Nah, but I understand the error. Not a big deal.
We. Just. Plain. Don't. Keep. Any. Data. Not. Immediately. Relevant. To. The. App.
Any bad actor can easily register a throwaway, and there's no way to prevent that, without storing some seriously dangerous data, so we don't even try.
It hasn't been an issue. The incident that I mentioned, is the only one we've ever had, and I nuked it in five minutes. Even if a baddie gets in, they won't be able to do much, because we store so little data. This person would have found all those connections to be next to useless, even if I hadn't stopped them.
I'm a really cynical bastard, and I have spent my entire adult life, rubbing elbows with some of the nastiest folks on Earth. I have a fairly good handle on "thinking like a baddie."
It's very important that people who may even be somewhat inimical to our community, be allowed to register accounts. It's a way of accessing extremely important resources.
