Sure you can do that. But now you need a Mac, probably an iOS device and pay $99/yr to Apple. If you're just providing a small one-off solution for a particular problem that you're not monetizing, the above may pose a serious problem.
For example, I (used to) maintain a tool that is essentially a save file viewer, but must store some data for decryption of said files. It's an Electron app, but could work as a normal website for the most part as well. I got a prototype of that up and it stores the required data in local storage. I don't want to maintain and host a backend for it, and I'm not too hot on paying Apple's developer fee for it, either.
You may say it's a fringe use case, and it probably is, but it's very much legitimate. I don't know why they couldn't have made storage for longer than 7 days with an extra permission to be requested.
