Instead of solely deleting content, what if authors had instead moved their content/answers to something self-owned? Can SO even claim ownership legally of the content on their site? Seems iffy in my own, ignorant take.

They can. It's in the TOS when you make your account. They own everything you post to the site.

That is true of a lot of sites, but not SO.
