I think it's a byproduct of how macOS itself saves and restores window state, but the macOS Terminal.app has options to control restoring scrollback on reopen. History is good, but it's really great to be able to scroll back and see more context around the commands I was running. (This can still fail me. In a rarely-touched tab I might have years of scrollback, but I currently have it set to restore 10k lines and I may find there's only a few days or hours in a tab where I ran something noisy with verbose logging...)
