If I just want to look at a book quickly, I don't want it changing by Sigil. Allowing a programme like Sigil to change a book involves me putting trust in it that it won't screw something up. I don't have that level of trust. When I want to change a book in Sigil, I change it and then test it to make sure it still works ok. When I'm just scanning a book I don't want to put that time in.
Previous version DID indeed silently change a book, but you could disable that so that it didn't occur. And if you didn't disable it, you DID find out the changes had been made, but only when you saved. Sigil didn't silently update the file on disk without telling you!
