The title clearly qualifies the claim: "MacOS may lose data _on APFS-formatted disk images_"

I didn't know there were APFS-formatted disk images (new in 10.13). Even when you consider the many different kinds of disk images that macOS supports, there's a pretty clear distinction between disk image and a backup of your startup disk, made to another partition in another drive.

Any additional clarification would get into "MacOS may lose data on APFS-formatted disk images (disk images, not disk-to-disk, as in another volume..." territory.

Yeah this is the opposite of a click-bait title; it clearly explains what the article is about.

"may" lose data on "APFS-formatted" disk images.
