I aspire to have your level of confidence in anything that amounts to leaving unsaved work in any sort of shape or form.

While my instinctual reaction is the same, that's only because I've been hurt by losing work the same way presumable everybody else has. But that's all because Windows hasn't elected to solve this problem.
Macs (largely) don't have this problem, so it's clearly solvable. There isn't any inherent law of computing or the universe that says it should be this way.
I still press CMD+S on Macs every time I'm done typing in something, but that's only because I've been hurt and live with the trauma, so to speak. There's no reason to hurt others to learn a lesson that doesn't actually have any value.
The point is, the user shouldn't have to work around the OS. The OS should work around the user. If there are unsaved files, the OS should not be installing an update and removing unsaved work.
