I wonder why Google didn't include a "cleanup" routine that empties the shopping cart after the data is collected. It seems like it would be a trivial thing to do, unless I am missing something. I guess the answer is because it would not benefit them in any way.

We'd still have an abandoned cart, since the session was created and held some sort of data - but it would be far less disruptive for sure.

Empty Abandoned Carts are useless anyway (for stats and other things - we track bounce rates in other ways), so that would be a large improvement from what is going on right now.
