I like to call this problem "privacy through obscurity". Nobody on the fedi believes that anything they post can stay up forever, they are under the illusion that it gives them even more control over their online persona than Twitter does.
Unfortunately that could not only not be further from the truth, but it's a dangerous mindset on the level of "I got my name out of the phonebook or listed it under an alias, I'm impossible to harass".
To these people, this very instance and any running Pleroma/Misskey could be an archiver too.
