(I don't know how this works, by the way, just pondering.)
Umm...
When you say that EXIF data is "in" the file, precisely what do you
mean? Surely it's not part of the image data. So... what is it? A
"header?"

No, exif data is included in the image file.
All you need is for one program or one file transfer process to
fail to manage that data correctly and the next thing you know,
your images don't *have* any EXIF data. :(
If I copy pictures from *my* camera to *my* computer (with "no" steps
in between), then the EXIF data will probably be there. But if
someone else emails images to to me, or I email them to myself, (via
which client or service?) or someone puts them on a USB stick (FAT
file system... does it matter?) and hands that to me or shares them
via Dropbox (the current, released, version does not support xattrs),
then... ?

None of these should lose exif-data. (Editing image files wth
non-exif aware programs can lose it, though.) Even cameras store
the images on FAT-filesystem (all sd-cards except the newest latest
sdxc).
