Nobody said that you should. This kind of rhetoric isn't very helpful.

Nonetheless there's a plethora of cases that will cause data loss.

"Implement hold threshold timer"? Very discoverable. Yeah I see this very much being implemented :-/
What to say about bug 565567? It could be rephrased "implement bug 419009 but only on Mac"! Now you're getting cute. (At least the ticket contains a link to a seemingly helpful extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/always-ask/ )
The other two aren't quite the same issue as this.

I can't see how it is a win not to ask in a situation you'll lose either
private windows, non-resuming downloads, modified inputs on "Web 2.0"
pages or poorly-made old-style pages, etc.
