Looked into this. Apple chose a sync strategy that will lose users data in certain conditions, so they didn't "bother" users about conflicts too much. They opted not to use much older techniques that would have kept conflicting revisions.

That way people could Google "what has Apple done with my files?" and get instructions to get them back. As an aside about not bothering users, iOS silently changed my call settings on some update they pushed on me so the phone wouldn't ring for some callers. Some sort of calming nonsense but I missed a call from my cancer surgeon who I couldn't call back because NHS which freaked me out.
