No problem, I can understand your concerns as XEP-0136 is very bloated and complicated.
Simply if you say something that is incorrect or in the wrong chat then you will want to delete it. Also you may say something that is "confidential" that you might want to remove after the recipient has acknowledged it. XEP-0308: Last Message Correction, kind of deals with these issues but unless you fetch your entire archive you might not get the corrections for previous messages. Maybe the solution isn't Message Removal, but rather better integration between these 2 XEPs.
