It's not that fielsystem developers are outnumbered by app developers. It's that forcing app writers to do an fsync will simply KILL performance as pretty much every app will forever be hanging on file-system access.
Plus the fact that on some fs types you need the fsync and it's cheap, on others you don't need it and it's costly. The app should not need to modify its behaviour depending on which file system it's running on.
