Of course not. My intent was to suggest that view-mode could do an
even better job cleaning up after itself in this small way.

The problem is identifying them. Kyle Jones's VM comes with a library
called tapestry that does a pretty good job of this for VM itself, but
it doesn't help when returning to some other task. Many tasks seem to
be built up from user-process-specific window and frame groups; how is
Emacs to guess?
I think that you do need a UI to tell Emacs which objects belong
together. Of course, complex modes could and should do the user of
calling that UI and saving the user the trouble.
