If this feature had been added today, we would obviously have kept it
disabled by default.
The "obviously" here is clearly not obvious (specially for one where
you have no strong opinion), backup files are still uesful to keep
even today in plenty of situations.
The current default strikes a balance between not having too many, and
stil having them which is infinitly better than never having them in
case of any issues.
