Comment:

 As shared as dd32 and azaozz noted, autosaves is working as intended to
 provide the "safeguards" and "basic functionality". It's not a defect.
 Rather, it's a design design to ensure the content typed by users is
 safeguarded. Past tickets for this same report provide valuable insights
 on why it is designed this way such as #17654, #18800, #19310, #20168.

 Completely disabling it has risks to the content. Doing so is plugin
 territory. There are benefits to moving this to a plugin such as a plugin
 can solidify the solution, eliminate the risks, and validate the use case.
