Well, there may be a number of backup files (~3~ etc), while there's only one auto-save file... and, also, recovering an auto-save file is really recovering something that's a work in progress, which reverting to a backup file is more akin to reverting to an older version in a version control system. So I'm not sure whether such a command makes that much sense -- it's something that might be used to seldom that nobody would remember that it's there, and looking at old versions of files is really easy using any of the standard ways of looking at files.
