Create an out of the box way to snapshot data

I just created a Community post to help customers who want to snapshot data historically. While doing this, I started wondering if we've considered creating an easy out of the box way to do this rather than an admin having to build a manual MDA object and create and maintain a manual rule. Perhaps some kind of history tracking process on objects that automatically kick off a process to snapshot that object to a new table on a certain cadence (daily, weekly, etc.)?
