It would, but only on really ancient versions, and as I understood they're not supported anyway (and they probably don't have a My Documents directory to begin with, so Inkscape could fall back on the current behaviour if it isn't supported). If it's deemed too much trouble then that's fine, but I think it would be nice if Inkscape's autosave feature would be a bit more obvious by saving files to a less obscure directory. Of course alternatively (or additionally) Inkscape could offer to open auto-saved documents on the next launch, but that might be quite a bit more complex to do correctly.
Well... we try to support as much as we can. In fact, some of those issues were hit by actual users.
Now... you'd also just asked about the history on this. Moving forward, if you don't see it already entered then go ahead and set a bug for this. We may even have more code around, and just need to use it in a more centralized manner.
