The main rationale for not expiring duplicate bugs was actually public
outcry when we ran the expiration script for the first time. But does it
really make sense to mark a duplicate expired (generating email, etc) if
the duplicate doesn't really have a status?

(The only reason a duplicate status is even displayed on the bugtask
page is to assist in the process of unduplicating it, something which I
think is actually an overcompensation, but since nobody's complained
we've left it as is.)
