Probably to compete with DeepSeek, which AFAIK also retains data (or at least OpenRouter says they do)
FYI: there are providers of deepseek that offer the same or lower pricing and zero retention policies.
Unfortunately, none with the same caching performance as DeepSeek proper.
DeepSeek is really crazy cheap, though, and they don't have a giant pool of other invasive personal data to correlate it with.
I hate to say this and this is because I fucking despise meta. But between DeepSeek and Meta, and trust they handle the training data correctly, I trust meta.
What do you mean by "correctly"?
For example, OpenCode says they have a ZDR with DeepSeek. Some of us are skeptical that's going to be properly honored. There's no way to know.
