> Google's sessions do not expire

They kind of do. I use a lot of machines that I might only hop on once a month or so. Chrome sync often ends up in a "paused" state where I have to re-auth. YouTube will fall back to a not-signed-in profile on me and I'll need to re-auth every now and then. Loading up Gmail will have me re-auth again pretty often. Often its not a full re-auth with my security keys but it'll at least challenge a password. I get these challenges probably every week or so across all my devices.
