For native apps this is less of an issue since they have access to persistent storage but with browsers there's no guaranteed persistence.

There's guaranteed persistence, but there's no guarantee that the host will be up anytime soon. E.g.: I might leave a final reply with all the details on an issue before going on vacation (or maybe I don't work the next day but my colleagues abroad do!). I see that it's properly posted and close the laptop.

The reply with be delayed by days or weeks, but the UI indicated that it had been properly saved.
