> You should never have hours worth of unsaved work open. NEVER. Don't blame windows or whatever, just dont ever do that or at least bear your shame quietly.

I think this might be the result of laypeople bringing phone OS expectations over to a desktop OS.

For many phone apps you never have to worry about saving or closing them and there is little difference between opening an app that wasn't open before and resuming one that's not been on your screen for a while.

Same goes for web apps, you are editing a google sheet and never worry about saving it.

However, there are forms of work that are a mess when they are interrupted. Long rendering jobs for example.

Web sites don’t do that by default. I would say, they are losing unsaved data by default and very few save it seamlessly.
