The value of old voicemails goes way up when the people that made them are no longer around.

There are always the exceptions and I have voicemails, photos, emails, IMs, etc from people who are no longer around. If I lost those things (and indeed I have), I still have the memory of that person and that's far stronger and more meaningful.

Everyone's different though. Perhaps there is a market for automated "life" backups but I'm not part of that market.
