If I make certain assumptions and you respect them, I will give you certain guarantees. If you don't respect them, I won't guarantee anything. I won't guarantee that your data will be toast either.

If you can't guarantee anything for all the nodes losing power at the same time, that's really bad.

If it's just the write buffer at risk, that's fine. But the chance of overlapping power loss across multiple sites isn't low enough to risk all the existing data.

I disagree that it's bad, it's a choice. You can't protect against everything. The team made calculations and decided that the cost to protect against this very low probability is not worth it. If all the nodes lose power you may have a bigger problem than that
