If you want version control embedded in Word (Excel, Powerpoint or Visio) then there are several addins available, including the one I use for Excel - Tortoise Subversion client, it plugs right into the Fluent Ribbon..

My out of town retreat has a very poor power supply - wouldn't be a month go by when we don't lose power altogether or suffer large voltage drops - in summer it's more like once a week. I don't know how many times we have turned on computers in the morning - fired up Word or Excel and recovered to within a few minutes of the outage - and we've been doing it for at least 20 years.

The angle I am more interested in is how many backups are created. My google results suggested, like Libreoffice and decent text editors, and probably many other programs I don't know about, it will save a backup only.
Recovery purposes are a valid reason for backups.

Third-party versioning plugins are nice.
Perhaps someone would like to write one for calibre.

I don't really expect that to be a core feature of any editor.
