~~He wouldn't have seen the "Discard Changes" button at all if source control wasn't already setup (and detected by VSCode).~~

~~No sane program will delete files when you initialize source control either.~~

As I found later, VSCode did have weird behaviors with source control back then. My experience is more with the latest versions.

My sibling ran into this issue once. I'm not sure if it's a setting or a default, but vscode would assume they were working in a blank repo until they made a commit.

Sounds like this person had the project (without source control) in another IDE, tried out VSCode, and it assumed that it was all 'changes'. I don't use VSCode, do I can't say for certain, but I know my sibling lost ~4 hours of project set up for the same reason (though they immediately realized it was their fault).
