posting vs POSTing, there is a difference.

I'm sure I'm being naive here, but why does the session need to be kept alive? Is it not enough to validate the session cookie upon submitting the post?

The session lives in the database for about 48 minutes, then it is removed.
If you are writing a post and it takes you more than 48 minutes to write it, the checkSession security function will find no session and raise an "your session timeout" error.
True that this is a non-fatal error, so you'd just have to re-post the message, but some people my not notice the fact and "lose" the post, and maybe later complain that the post was removed/not posted.

I don't see a reason to remove it

The proper fix for this would be to have a two-stage posting process where you first fetch a fresh session token.
