(Get the code!)
The advantage of "Cancel" as the default would obviously be that one cannot cause any data-altering action by accident.
Regarding auto save (for the primary board / schematic / lib file), I guess this goes against the attitude of "professional-type application" users. While the automatic backup to a separate file as a kind of implementation of auto save is certainly very useful, it doesn't interfere with the users decision of manually deciding about altering their data via the save (or don't save) action.
In contrast, auto save for the primary file kind of takes the freedom of choice to persist or discard any changes made (typical use case: saving the file, making experimental changes, discarding them without saving). Of course, this can also be achieved with some kind of VCS, but not everyone uses VCS for their KiCad projects.
