I understand that there are ways to do it, like in this question Force browser to clear cache

But it looks like a workaround rather than intended browser feature. And cache problems in frontend development are way to common to be noticed by everyone. So is there a proper reason why browsers never standardized a feature for a website to clear user cache on demand? Are there security implications that I can't think of right now its just happened so that the major browsers never really tried doing it

    a) It would have to be something that every browser implemented to be useful. b) The solution is for the server to do its job properly, not ask the client to clean up its mess. – mjwills May 10 '21 at 06:50

    I don't see the need for that. If you correctly use the cache headers and/or meta tags, there should never be a cache-related problem. If they are "way too common", that's just due to shoddy implementation on the server side. – Robby Cornelissen May 10 '21 at 06:50

    `And cache problems in frontend development are way to common to be noticed by everyone.` And solutions are far too common and easy to make this a browser / client problem. ;) – mjwills May 10 '21 at 06:50
