Because its purpose is different, and the conditions to flush are also
different.

I'm not sure I understand why time since caching is relevant for the
purpose that you want to cache images.  Suppose there's an image that
should be displayed during the entire session -- how does it make
sense to remove it from the cache after 5 minutes?  OTOH, another
image that is displayed just once doesn't need to be cached for more
than a few seconds.
