I think abort is essentially an optimization. It is always possible that a client might go away mid-upload for some reason without announcing that it won't be coming back.
A storage server will have to periodically clean up partial uploads without the prompt of an abort call from clients.
The optimization might be worth having but I think it can wait until after the essential parts of GBS are working.
