Note that technically the agreement says that Sony reserves the right to delete the account after 36 months, not that they'll actually do it. It might "just" be a stupid bit of legalese to cover Sony's ass in case they're required to delete older data.

Of course the idea is worrying nonetheless.

note my myself: whenever entering a contract with u/ChairmanMeow@programming.dev just tell him those terms that are not in his favor are just legalese for some edge case and I certainly will voluntarily not make any use of those terms that are totally in my favor and they should not worry.

I feel like this would actually work on most people

if they can delete someones account and potentially make them buy everything again (at least that is how i think the executives must view it) why wouldnt they?

Consumer trust, most likely. You do this to 100 people and you lose far more in customers who don't want to touch your stuff anymore.
