That's not true, because Blockchain.info has them, but their support is either unwilling or unable to retrieve them. Just check the dozens of other similar questions here on SE.

This is a big charge against blockchain. because they claim they are using client-side encryption, its open source project and nobody ever has access to private keys.

I suppose my comment may be false. Coinbase is known for being able to retrieve private keys in these cases. maybe blockchain.info is truly unable to do that.
