You are better than 99% of users which is what this issue is about. You are a power user capable of looking after a machine. The problem the people who aren't.
I'm not better than others, the contrary even. Everybody learns to do this when the nearest gas station is far enough that you will probably not make it there by the time the fuel warning lights up. Now it has become a habit for me.
Assuming that things work the same elsewhere as they do around you is akin to self-deception.
I'm probably leaning towards the power user category of computer users nowadays, but I wasn't born that way I learned it the hard way by having to deal with Microsoft's crap for years. Now it has become a habit too.
