Maybe it should be (yet another) option! My own sense is that messages stay in the Trash folder for a while in case you subsequently realise you deleted something in error. I actually do not auto purge, preferring to manually empty the Trash folder periodically when I have time to double check there is nothing there that I should retain. If I did use auto purge, I think I would prefer the documented behaviour.
