Alone the fact of audit gives you a lot of reasons to keep data. Even if it gets downsampled one way or the other.
And plenty of use cases have natural growth. I do not throw away my pictures for example.
Data also grows dependent of users. More users, more 'live' data.
We have such a huge advantage with digital, we need to stop thinking its wasteful. Everything we do digital (pictures, finance data, etc.) is so much more energy and space efficient than what we had 20 years ago, we should just not delete data because we feel its wasteful.
