(It's not 10-day-old files, it's files that have not been used for 10
days.)

But both the Linux file system standard and POSIX 2 have requirements
and/or recommendations that call for /tmp to be cleaned out once in a
while. If you don't like that, put your files elsewhere. We're not in a
position to dictate system administration procedures.
