You realize that you're just claiming an imaginary “right for business to keep data forever” and ascribe it a higher moral value than the “right to be forgotten” you judge unnatural?
Of course Google lobbyists are paid to argue that such a right exist and is higher up in the hierarchy than anything else, but there's no reason to listen to this arguments. I have no love for legislative bodies inventing artificial rights (like intellectual property rights), but corporations inventing artificial right is legitimately even worse.
This time fortunately the legislators took the side of the people and created a “right to be forgotten” instead of a “right to hoard private data”.
