I love that they clearly say that. IMO they should keep that notice around even later on.
Far too many people spin up some solution for photos or files, either selfhosted or some paid service, and use it as their only storage. Then they're surprised when data loss happens.
Yeah I'm no data retention expert but that is a huge risk.
