I didn’t delete my account but I used a script to edit all my messages to say that I have left because of the attack on 3rd party apps and when I check now they all still say that.
The point is doesn’t matter what is visible, they could be storing all the comments edit history and simply not show it.
That only helps for a third party without access to reddit data , which they could have if reddit sells it to them, from scraping the page, yes in that case your comments cannot be used.
And they didn’t bother to restore you because you probably weren’t useful to make a community look attractive. He was so after he scrubbed his account, possibly with the exact same tool you did, they put everything back.
