You enforce a reasonable data retention policy, or charge for it.
If you fail to recover data for everyone, then the data retention is too low. If you succeed to recover data for everyone, then the data retention is too high. Pick a data retention policy that leans towards long enough that you can recover data for most people, or charge extra for it. It's not that complicated.
Tech support can reverse the action in this case, so I don't see how this is relevant.
Most software doesn't process credit card transactions, so I don't see how this is relevant. Even if they did, they probably have to keep the data around due to regulatory requirements.
People should at least try to make usable software first, but manuals are fine.
Yeah, shit happens, assuming they receive proper training and the saw complies with safety standards.
