This is a serious problem for modern web experiences.

"After seven days of Safari use without the user interacting with a webpage on website.example, all of website.example’s non-cookie website data is deleted." (https://webkit.org/blog/9521/intelligent-tracking-prevention...)

Granted, this could turn out really well if the industry adopts another standard which requires user permission, overcomes this limitation, overcomes the existing limitation of LocalStorage on iOS getting automatically cleared when a device is low on storage, and overcomes the problem of sites being able to use up a lot of storage on users' devices without their knowledge.

I'd be very welcoming of such a standard. These could be good future replacements if the industry can adopt them:
