No, absolutely NO. I consider features like this blatantly user-hostile. I personally keep full text logs of all my chat conversations archived indefinitely and refer back to old logs all the time. Once I have received a message it is mine, and no device manufacturer has the right to reach into my device and delete it from me -- actual malware behaviour! I feel the same way about the ability to edit messages and the like. Actual antifeatures, and some of the things I'm most upset being forced to accept due to network effects.
