I mean, if I was running a cloud provider I'd delete all your shit the instant you stopped paying me. So them providing the option for you to get your files by renewing your subscription is more than generous. Storage space costs money.
You'd just burn yourself doing that though.
So long as you still have the data there's a very strong probability the subscriber is going to renew in order to access their data.
Once you delete the data the subscriber is probably going to change to another provider that doesn't delete things.
How to lose customers 101. I've sometimes renewed my VPS late, but I think the "free" storage I got punctually got from my host is well worth the 10 years I've been with them. That kind of policies screams "look at our competitors", because, at this point, why wouldn't one go elsewhere?
I'd rather have your business model because I at least know my data isn't going to be used for reasons that I didn't agree to. However that's just an opinion I have on cloud function and storage
