Firstly, it leaves a lot of useless files around. I assume that the only session file which is really necessary is the most recent one.

I wonder nobody had found it before, but maybe this shows that session management doesn’t get used, or at least looked at, very much. Thirdly, there’s still a bug in the session management that I found the other day while fixing Zenity support, wherein it tries to put up a dialogue before closing the session… and then always quits, so you can’t see what you were told.
