The problem is (I've seen it) staff turning off or disabling WAL[1] because it makes things faster, or as an unintended consequence of doing something else. Great if 'some data loss' being possible is understood in advance. Often, it isn't.
[1] example: not quite WAL, but disabling full logging, so it was then on simple logging, on MSSQL as part of a log shrink process. On a cient site. Who did 3-hourly log backups.
