Why would we do this, who gains by adding this?

I don't see the benefit.

As a registrant, registrar or registry I have access to that data. As a
person (or client) resolving a name at a specific point in time I don't
see how this data would be relevant.

Even as a third party if I want the expiration data then there are
existing protocols for doing that.

Was the use case outlined?
