A former paying user is not a customer. If you don't pay, why should you receive service? I buy a pizza at this pizza shop every week, but I still don't get free ones.
SoundCloud is European, so most of the dark patterns used by American companies to offer "free" service are not available to them, and they are required by law to actually delete data instead of pretending to delete it.

Do they take the leftovers from your fridge when you stop buying?
The analogy was bad. You're effectively renting space in their fridge. In that case, absolutely.
If I haven't bought pizza for two months, they use their magical ray, reach into my fridge and turn the leftovers into mold.
