Why do you think that common pg-users doesn't care about their data?

 

Did I say that?

 

Also why do we have wal_level=minimal fsync=on and other stuff?

 

To make certain garantees that data is by default durable.

 

What I'm saying is that everything is a compromise, cost/benefit. The universe might explode tomorrow but the chances are slim, so no use preparing for it.

Those caring enough probably use checksums, battery-packed RAID etc.
