Nobody is asking that pure consumers of OSM data to hunt through their data and remove deleted users ids and display names, but just as a book could be removed from circulation by the author/publisher etc. and they could very well ask downstream book store and distributors to stop selling and distributing the book, we and downstream distributors of the data need to stop distributing and publishing user data when the user wants it deleted. To reuse your analogy we are removing the authors name from new books sold and allowing it to otherwise remain in circulation.
