Sometimes you actually do go back to those saved tabs. There's no way to know ahead of time which tabs you're actually gonna go back to and which you won't, so it's perfectly reasonable to save groups of tabs if there was a topic you were researching or whatever. Just save the tabs into a new bookmark folder with a descriptive name so you can find it later.

But with that said, 7000 is way beyond including just the things a person might ever actually want to go back to later.
