From the vi/ex reference, /usr/share/doc/reference/ref1/vi/vi.txt:

     Historically, the contents of the unnamed  buffer  were
     discarded  by  many  different commands, even ones that
     didn't store text into it.  Nex/nvi never discards  the
     contents  of the unnamed buffer until new text replaces
     them.
