I don't think anyone would argue with the value side of the question. The tricky part is calculating the cost side. (The cost of not deleting old messages.)
Surely we can agree that the cost side is > 0.
I'd argue that the benefit side is generally at least a little lower than what we think it's going to be. And if the expiration limit is set to say, 1 year, the cost of deleting old messages goes down considerably.
