The word revert, with this meaning, is still in widespread use in business in Britain too, in my experience.

Doubtful. I've worked in the UK for more than 20 years, and the only time I've ever heard this usage is within outsourced IT providers in India.

Perhaps it's industry specific but in finance/investment I see it used all the time (and I use it myself - I'm a Brit).

I’ve seen the word used in that context at two different UK companies.

Not in the circles I run in. If somebody said that in a meeting it would be so weird I'd probably question it because, and particularly in our environment, I'm pretty sure it would confuse everyone.
