Interesting .... I have lost fewer potatoes and onions since I started storing them in the frig, than before. And sometimes they stay in the frig for a very long time!
Of note, perhaps the difference in where we store them when not in the frig and the temperatures they endure may make a difference re spoilage. I know many can keep them in the garage, but here, it is too hot in the summer, and too cold in the winter, both resulting in big losses. Otherwise, there is no where appropriate in my home for them to sit in wait of mutilation!
