Some of that is from management being strict about following the procedures we have to make sure every step is followed or we get in trouble so even if someone seems knowledgable we have to treat them like they aren’t

as a former tech support person I think the reason why its usually like that is that most of the people who call in are people don’t know how to use a computer at least it was for the company I worked at

Why were these things allowed before?

I don’t expect my data to be fully deleted in a centralized system either. even if it was deleted from the central server someone might have made an archive of it

and reddit is definitely guilty of this since they were bringing back peoples deleted comments and accounts
