70 mb is not excessive for a session file and therefore 7k tabs is not excessive. 7 million tabs would be insane I imagine. But not 7k. User proved herself by using it for years that it performs adequately.
My point stands. If browser can lose 7k tabs it can lose as few as 7 and such bugs should be fixed.
If you can't name exact point between 7 and 7k where "reason" ends you have to learn more about proper programming. So you could realize that the actual limit is far from that, and there are still a lot of things to improve so all users could get benefits, not just a few.
