I'm not sure I understand why. I would assume they are storing this data in
EEPROM which usually can retain data for a matter of years (e.g. Microchip
24C64 has 200 year data retention, PIC12F683 Flash/Data EEPROM Retention: >
40 years) unless deliberately erased/rewritten.

I suspect design/programming flaws.
