Hit that Ctrl-S now.

And in 5 minutes.

And 5 minutes after that.

Repeat until you stop working today.

Hit Ctrl-S every start of the day after 5 minutes of work.

And 5 minutes after that.

Repeat until you stop working that day.

There you go. Saved you a lot of hours of work.

We're power users. We've already been burned by this, and we know how to defend against it.

That doesn't help my mom when she's writing a long letter and (rightly) expects her computer's RAM to hold the information and warn her before it does anything destructive. That doesn't help the middle-schooler who is suffering through their first 5-page essay.

Use an OS that behaves in a way I like more.

Save when convenient.

Repeat as necessary.

I prefer to use software that behaves the way I want it to, rather than modifying my own behavior to work around its shortcomings.
