Fine, let's be more nuanced: no filesystem should lose data if FAT16/FAT32/NTFS 3.1/EXT2/EXT3 wouldn't.

  well, FAT16/FAT32/EXT2 are not journalled, so making them lose data in a giant variety of ways is a trivial affair. You might want a higher bar than that.

    Yeah, when you get down to it the opinion really boils down to "the file system is broken iff it doesn't lose data for the use-cases I personally use it for."

    That's the point: if file systems that basic would NOT lose data, then it is unacceptable if another file system does. Maybe to put it differently: new file systems should offer improvements wrt reliability for stable features of the file systems of the previous generation; regressions are unacceptable.
