Do you really believe they don't have backups? Especially since it seems selling content for AI training was their plan for quite a while?
Or that they didn't make full backups a couple years ago before the protest, anticipating a lot of users would try to delete their comments?
I think the only way to truly delete anything from reddit would be living in EU and enforcing a GDPR request, but even in that case, I believe it would be very difficult to check they actually comply.
