I am not sure why you wonder, because R functions (and most other
languages, too) usually work like this. eigen() and prcomp() results
do not contain the input matrix, kmeans() output does not contain the
input data, etc. There are some exceptions, of course, but usually the
input is not kept as part of the output.

I think this actually makes sense, why would you want to keep a
history of an object? It is a huge waste of memory and 99% of the time
it is not needed.
