You definitely can offer it within their ToS. The requirement is that you have to have an easily accessible delete option. You can offer to temporarily disable or deactivate the account but there must still be a delete option.
Recommendations are made by Apple to point out that data will be stored in the case of opting to disable/deactivate.
So it’s essentially semantics, if you want people to be able to log in from an account that’s been “closed” you can call it “deactivating” and if you still offer a “full delete” it’s totally fine.
You may get scrutiny if you don’t highlight (for the purposes of the reviewer) that a “disabled” account means that the account data is still accessible on relays via Damus, and you’ll also attract attention if it seems in any way that the delete button is more difficult to find than the deactivate one.
