I'd be shocked if deleted comments weren't retained by them

Isn't that illegal in most countries?

In Europe GDPR gives you the right to have all your data deleted. All you do is send in a request and SO has to remove everything of yours, not just anonymize it. There are some exceptions for legal reasons, eg where financial transactions are involved, but comments should not be exempt.

Except it's not your data anymore. By submitting any content, you transfer the rights to SO.
