Lemmy definetely should add an option to delete all content when deleting the account, but I think the reason it doesn't is that it would leave big gaps in conversations under posts (e.g. if I were to delete my comments in this thread, your comments would make no sense for anything else reading then). Alternatively they could just unlink it from the account and just leave the post/comment with some placeholder name like
deleted.
