I think this issue is trickier than you're giving credit for.
One challenge with any distributed social network is some loss of control over how the content you generate moves around. It's one of the tradeoffs when giving up one centralized entity that can [hopefully] be held accountable for content stewardship.
And so we get into the situation where #ActivityPub deletion and editing is based on the assumption that other instances will voluntarily agree to deletion requests.
There may be creative ways to look for balance, where revocation is good enough assurance of deletion, but unfortunately this kind of thing is a real tradeoff for operating distributed systems.
(I think this kind of thing is interesting to study, so excuse the ramble :) )
