Bookmarks do exist.
Everything in my bookmarks is to never be opened again because I just forget about it.
That's the advantage of bookmarks, yes.
Or session loss.
This is why I have about 5k tabs arranged in containers and groups. If I change between topics I hotkey to bring up the grouping panels. Stuff for network management can be left to return to exactly where I left off. Same with the web control panels for my 3d printers. Isolated social media crap, work crap, etc also.
With all the web apps and documentation and references, it's just too much of a pain in the ass to dig up a bookmark only for it to be a forgotten number of pages/scrolls/dynamic bullshit behind. Its like a modern version of losing my position in a school textbook. I'm old and battered enough now that merely being alive is a chore and nobody can tell me to close my tabs.
