Increase User Options to Clear Data Upon Exit
Try https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clickclean/ghgabhipcejejjmhhchfonmamedcbeod?hl=en Chrome extension. However, if you look at SSD writes by Chromium in resmon, you'll get an idea erasing cache and then opening the same pages again and again at browser launch is not necessarily a good idea. Clearing History and even site password cookies on your home PC is not always the best productivity option either.

Why? It doesn't resolve the issue.

If I understand you beneath the jargon, you are pointing out that anything that increases the number of small-data write/erase cycles -- for example, the auto-save feature in word processing and other applications -- reduces the life of SSD's. So what?
"Clearing History and even site password cookies on your home PC is not always the best productivity option either."
Again, so what?
All I'm suggesting is that Microsoft give users an option. Edge (Classic) does that, as does Firefox. Chrome doesn't -- in fact seems to go out of its way to make clearing data on exit difficult -- probably for reasons related to Google's business model. Microsoft doesn't have to mindlessly follow suit.
I was under impression you need a quick fix, not just philosophical discussion. As Edge roadmap emphasizes Privacy, certain they will add such choices overtime. I like your suggestion. :)
