Why do you think that common pg-users doesn't care about their data?
 
Did I say that?
 
Also why do we have wal_level=minimal fsync=on and other stuff?
 
To make certain garantees that data is by default durable.
 
What I'm saying is that everything is a compromise, cost/benefit. The universe might explode tomorrow but the chances are slim, so no use preparing for it.
Those caring enough probably use checksums, battery-packed RAID etc.
