Why not a customize variable vc-show-diff-before-revert that takes

Really? If you type `C-x v u' by mistake, you lose your changes with no
possibility of retrieval. If there's anything that needs a yes-or-no
prompt, vc-revert is it.
I have never hit C-x v u by mistake.
I have never hit C-x v u by mistake. Sometimes hitted them on the wrong
buffer, though.
Semantics, not an argument.

Just because something may be lost
doesn't mean we should add yes-or-no for them all.
AFAIK, yes-or-no exists precisely with the purpose of being more
cumbersome to answer than y-or-no, as a way of saying: "beware: possible
data loss!"
The bzr command run in a shell does not ask. Why must Emacs be so much
harder to use than the command line? Isn't the point of vc-mode to be
convinient?
What if there is important text in a temporary buffer?
That's your fault. As the name implies, temporary buffers are made for
throwing them away.
And how is that different? Reverting the wrong file should be my fault
also. Why am I treated as a stupid child in one instance but as a
responsible adult in another?
I don't know why you are arguing for this. You can set default to be
ask, I'm just asking for alternatives for those of us that don't what to
be asked.
