This perspective is inaccurate. The auto-save feature is versioned, so if you want to go back to an eariler version, you can, and in fact, it's much easier. In the past if you made changes and saved the file, only the latest save was on the filesystme, now you can go back in history even past the last save. You're able to get old data back now in a way that you couldn't before... and can't on other systems. Whoever represented it as some sort of data loss was confused or lying.
