Most people don't experience crashes with the frequency that you adumbrate.
Even when crashes occur, for the casual desktop user they are inconsequential.
I've known several people, in fact, who reset the machine whenever they are
having a problem, just to see if that helps--obviously crashes are not a concern
for them, if they can do a hardware reset without blinking an eye.
