They charge you for cache writes already. There's a price assigned to it. Even if you're on subscription, it counts against your usage (very easy to observe with a big cache miss).

Anthropic (and now OpenAI too for 5.6) prompt caching is not free.

Holding your cache in VRAM for 5 minutes or 3 hours have very different costs to them.

"They already charge me to park my car, why can't I leave it there for a year for the same price as 1 week?"
