I kinda disagree with this, it can be useful to know why there are suddenly some replies months or years later on a old topic.

I didn’t try this option on my forum but I guess this message can be deleted by the staff, like any other topic status changes (pin/unpin, closed topic, etc) so I think we can do without a specific option 🤔
