Logrotate would use a separate table, or even database, to store he rotted log entries. For normal users logrotate will be set to 0, meaning the functionality is not used. Advanced admins can set this to any amount/size or time.
Dont force a separater database, because many people on shared hosting have only one db. I agree the logs are not very useful compared to raw logs or tools that use raw logs (e.g. Webalizer, AWStats, ...etc.) However, there is some usefulness in them nonetheless. Some people dont even have raw log capability. So leave the functionality as it is for the sake of those.
