Seems like it’s actually really convenient as independent customer data ends up being nicely isolated. Deleting churned customer data is as trivial as deleting their database.

This is more proof of what I am saying. The urge to have something "nicely isolated" really needs to come with a checklist of why you need this, otherwise this comes off as a developer's desire for cleanliness regardless of major drawbacks.

Running some `DELETE FROM x WHERE TenantId = 1` is not a huge deal.
