Nope, the terms of use are already pretty clear. And no one has provided a compelling reason to keep these projects around, just lots of suggestions on how to keep them around.

Well, because sooner or later, you'll delete a project that someone didn't want deleted, and they'll be ticked off. Maybe they'll open a ticket and convince the infra. team to restore the data from a backup, or maybe they'll just be ticked off and rant about how much Fedora sucks for deleting this thing they didn't want deleted.
Again, I'm assuming the per-project maintenence cost is near zero (ie, a little bit of disk space). If not, then maybe I could see a case for automatically deleting old projects.
