Google Play has introduced their account deletion requirement

Given that you can run an android emulator and sideload the necessary apk on any computer that isn't a potato, it doesn't make sense to mark those entries as limited anymore.

I'm not sure I get the modification. The limited keyword is not there to denote that the user has "limited means" of getting to the deletion button/mail. It means that the user needs to be backed up by a national law or an app store policy for the app to accept the deletion request.

The main reason I included app store policies under limited was because at the time I made this only Apple had a requirement for it.

Which in turn limited it to anyone with an iPhone (or anyone who knew someone with one) as iOS emulators cannot (legally) install any apps.

Google's policy requires also providing a web link (which I probably should have pointed out) so in practice it's not just limited to android users (the reasoning is that someone might not have access to their phone, so a page that says "use the app" won't cut it)

If they didn't make that requirement then I probably would have agreed with you there.
