I don't think it has anything to do with the "good old times". It is a problem that's introduced as soon as a storage medium is used. Sure, you could shutdown your C64 anytime, but even then, if you did it while it was writing to the tape/floppy, then your data was lost. And I definitely remember having to park the hard drive on an XT before shutting it down.
