Absolutely true even now. But Lemmy has good APIs which can be used to download all data. But the core idea is if you really want to have complete control over your data, just roll-out your own instance. Save the data for as long as you like.
Sure, it could happen. But it's not an argument in Reddit's favor when they're apparently just as willing to clear out your history too.
