The issue is not about having a lot of tabs open, the issue is when people expect their tabs to be open between sessions.

Open 427362728 tabs if you want, but don't expect them to open on restarting the session

Would you spit this at someone annoyed that all their bookmarks got deleted? Because restored tabs don't take much more storage or memory than that. And if you don't expect your computer to remember those kilobytes of information, buy a better computer.
