I expect to see this change to match desktop expectations eventually, but I agree. Connectivity, and web apps themselves, can be unreliable, so it feels safer to see a new page load to confirm that our settings have been saved. Additionally, many Windows apps still use OK, Cancel, Apply buttons in settings dialogs. The instant saving of settings is more of a Mac thing. Users are going to expect similar things from UI on the web, and the majority are probably new to the idea of no save/cancel choice.
