So if you were held up at gunpoint, it wouldn't really matter as long as the robber was polite and upfront about it? Nobody cares about them being upfront; it's the inconvenience and intrusiveness of such a measure. Plus what if you want to play it on a laptop away from home? There are plenty of scenarios that could end up being much more of hassle then ''losing 10-15 minutes of progress''.
Which, by the way, is not the minor thing you make it out to be. It's a pain in the ass even if it happens one, it wrenches you out the game world and forces you to be re-immersed (a big issue in a game that is trying to create such a strong atmosphere and tell an affecting story).
