In
your scenario, you specifically don't want the key to finally expire
if someone stops updating it, you just want to avoid having valid
self-signatures present.

In my scenario, I specifically want the key expiration. Really I do. Now you
may disagree with this, but it is what I want.

Please point out an advantage of *key* expiration over
*self-signature* expiration in that scenario.
