What exactly do you think discard means?

“Changes” are not the same thing as “files”.

I’d expect that files that are not in version control would not be touched.

Apparently, it means changes to the directory structure and what files are in them, not changes within the files themselves. It really ought to be more clear about this.

Yeah. They did substantially modify the message to make it much clearer, thankfully.
