It's a question of convenience. For a user it usually makes no big difference if: - He closes the laptop - He must restart the computer - The computer restarts itself - etc. What makes the difference is, whether he has the documents after that incident and weather he is bugged with questions to save the file. (Just two examples: Web browser will not ask you to save tabs with correct settings. They will just do it. Another well known text editor as well.)
