Then it still makes no sense, as you being unable to take down the content means you also very likely can’t edit the content. I can’t think of a situation where you:

Need content to not be scraped
Need time to remove/edit that content
Have access to do the above
Don’t have access to pull the content immediately
Have control of a large enough botnet to take down Internet Archive
Don’t have a big enough botnet to take down the aforementioned content

On an individual level, having a massive archive of everything you've ever posted isn't always a good thing, especially when mentally ill people will quote mine a single post and then try to misuse it.
