>now, because of this useless request

No, it is because of an overreaction to a request. If they are acting in good faith then just reply

Maybe the request is an overreaction?

How many hours should this person put in to respond to the request?

And to all the others.

About 3 minutes.

Haha data export page, what even is that? Let me just go to my SQL DB, redis, glacier backups, and Kafka logs and just click the data export button. It will only take 3 minutes.

There's a button to download the user's data on their profile page. You can direct them to that. There's also a function to anonimise a user, which scrubs records of IP addresses and usernames.
