Yes, it currently doesn't because HISTFILE isn't set by zsh by default.
a startup file has to do this, but if

the `this' here is setting HISTFILE, you will create a situation where
unintentional data loss happens if zsh sets HISTFILE by default, a user
increases SAVEHIST from the default and starts zsh without their dotfiles.
Those three conditions would cause the shell to truncate HISTFILE back to
the default value of SAVEHIST.
