Oh, I bet they did. However, its not without precedent. Many gift cards have similar decreases in value over time, and usually after a year or two of not using the card. I think they would be more upset that you were giving their "money" away to others (though I think that's a better option than it going back into the ether). Not saying it needs to be , or should be implemented, but there does need to be some sort of user retention / repatriation plan. Maybe a carrot is better than a stick in this regard, but I still think its worth the thought and the discussion.

I reckon their usernames might be recycled, and their tokens left alone, as a less onerous option. However, I don't like either idea, as if I got stabbed and needed to spend a few months in a coma, I'd be bummed out if Steemit gave my name away.
If there's a way to just remove dead followers, I reckon that would enable us to feel better about the accuracy of our metrics. Again, however, folks returning from comas might feel slighted by being bumped.
I note several noxious bots such as @a00 that are dead followers of mine, and don't mind bumping such as them. I don't mind ghosts so much, as I get all puffed up with self-importance when folks pay attention to me, even if they don't engage. (/sarc)
