Hmmm not sure I agree with that explanation. It's clear that people want
to be able to set the length a notification shows for. It's a feature
that is even listed in the documentation.

People are asking to be able to use it, and you're either not letting
them, or are suggesting having a one-controls-all slider bar. As far as
API's go that's not very usable and you're not catering for people that
want to develop for the platform.

You still haven't given a clear reason why it's a bad idea to expose the
timeout property.

There are clear reasons why it would be a good idea to expose it
(mentioned above). It benefits the end user's experience, and platform
as a whole, as developers are able to write applications with suitable
timeouts depending on the context.
