Is this deliberate?
I think I recall you saying that the metadata would be automatically updated during an edit, but if I Quit without saving I think I want the file to be totally unchanged. I don't know how others feel.
On the other hand, if I do make changes and then File-Save, the calibre last_modified date is not updated. This doesn't seem logical either.

If you invoke the program from the command line or file manager and quit without saving then the file system modified timestamp, file size and checksums don't seem to change.
However, if you invoke the program from the calibre GUI and quit without saving the file system modified timestamp, file size and checksums do seem to change. The database last_modified_date presumably changes because the file system properties changed.
It should be consistent, and I would have thought that if the file isn't saved then the file and its properties shouldn't change.
