not true. read the description of -o in mount(8). try mounting
with async and you'll see *way* more damage if you can't provide
clean power.

btw it's not just OS-level filesystems; there's another translation
layer between the OS and physical storage (needed for wear balancing
etc) and other requirements to make sure flash cells are properly
written (https://sabrent.com/blogs/storage/power-loss touches on
this).

could things be better than they are now? possibly.

but what you are doing with killing power during heavy writes
is pretty much guaranteed to cause damage, possibly permanent,
to your drives.
