What is the reason behind Guest Cart Clean in Hybris OOTB Guest Checkout implementation?

What is the reason behind the logic of the OOTB DefaultGuestCheckoutCartCleanStrategy.cleanGuestCart(). Why is that needed to delete all the cart data after the guest user leaves the checkout for eg. to visit the choosen product again?

Security reasons i believe. For example if a guest is in a public place about to checkout, then goes back to the homepage their potentially personal data will be wiped.

However, i think this creates more problems than it hopes to solve. We have disabled this in our 6.7 setup.
