I never actually thought for a second that os updates would lose my files... until it proudly started saying on screen YOUR FILES ARE RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT THEM

I knew then... that there was non zero chance those files will be right where i leave them. And sure enough it was months later some update deleted peoples files

To be fair, they added that after an upgrade removed all of your files, so perhaps they felt they needed to re-assure the public it wouldn't happen again. It's a shame they didn't instead invest resources into actually making sure of that, because I'm pretty sure it happened a second time.
