Well, there also are many actual real world user workflows, where the
export == save has resulted in loss of artwork. In its most trivial form
it is "help, I can no longer edit the text in my jpeg".

We have decided to focus on loss-prevention. We have discussed and
explained this ad nauseam.

So unless you come up with a real usability study within our target user
group that shows that they can't handle this change we won't change
this.
