Interesting, I would guess most developers trust the caching mechanisms they are using will perform well long term, and don’t consider that a user would want more control over the cache. Caching is inherently a performance feature, so it’s probably seen as essential to user experience rather than an option
From the QA perspective, I think most developers assume the cache mechanism will keep working the way it does on their device in their short development cycle, and do t really consider whether it will eventually break.

It’s possible. In the YouTube application, this is really true, but in many others the cache is not deleted by itself.
