Why does this plugin need to obliterate htaccess?

We are trying to move away from Yoast to this plugin, but when I enable it, it just blows the htaccess file completely away back to default without adding anything to it. It seemingly just wipes htaccess for no reason, losing a bunch of redirects and other things that we have custom implemented there.

Is there a way to not have it just completely wipe this file? Why does it even need to do this? If it’s going to be an issue, then we can’t use it.
