>since you can just screen shot it. The benefit with automated rention policies embeded in content is that it's less easy for the information to be weaponized ex post. I.e. Now that a couple has broken up, a vindictive partner doesn't have a full log of their communications that they can use to blackmail their partner. Basically it tips the balance back towards conversation and less dystopian log by making people who are attempting to log everything incur a cost rather than have them freeride on the logging system.
