I think it is a decision based on Apples image. They can only lose when enabling data checksums.

The user would have to be informed, since Apples hardware has no storage redundancy. That will be perceived as an admission of failure on Apples part; your $2k device just murdered your data.

There is not really a UX flow apart from telling the user to recover the file from backup.

Technically it is the dominant strategy to have data checksums. - Even if you assume the Hardware is very awesomely perfect.
