 I completely agree with everything you've just said but let's just not errr on using terms like unilateral exit when they have a very well defined intent which doesn't apply here. 
 Fair point.  We’re experimenting with new concepts here, so the terminology might now be 100% so we need to iterate. In the mainstream context this would be called ‘data portability’, another great concept, but mostly used in lip service without empowering the user. This is the first instance where I see the possibility of keeping data private on behalf of a user, and where they are independently empowered to remove at any time. If find this very exciting and a complete game-changer for service providers that need to provide some custodial service but with creating a big breachable honeypot.
