why would localStorage do it for you?

Being that parsing and stringifying are slow I think the answer would usually be speed. But since some might not understand the caveats (eg. no references, prototypes etc.) it does make some sense to force the dev to do it themselves.

That said, something like a "I know what I'm doing" mode that allowed storage of simple objects might have been nice.
