Re: [storage] Allow all storage types to expire, not just cookies (#11) from Joshua Bell on 2015-10-15 (public-webapps-github@w3.org from October 2015)

I believe it was a privacy/authentication concern. E.g. a mail service may expire auth credentials via cookies after 30 days, and for privacy reasons they'd also want to wipe offline/cached data as well.
