Actually sudden termination has been around since Snow Leopard, it makes restarts much quicker.
Automatic termination and locking/versions is hardly capricious like you're making out. It's taking a leaf from iOS's book where you never think about when to quit an application, the OS does it for you. You never think about saving user data, the OS/app does it for you.
Apple's concentrating on Joe Public, and it's certainly helped their bottom line. If you don't like it go to one of their feedback pages, but there's no need for swearing.
Cheers

Automatic and Sudden Termination of Applications Improve the User Experience
Argh.
Automatic and Sudden Termination of Applications Improve the User Experience
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the use of the Quit command to terminate an application is diminished in favor of more user-centric techniques. Specifically, Cocoa supports two techniques that make the termination of an application transparent and fast: Automatic termination eliminates the need for users to quit an application. Instead, the system manages application termination transparently behind the scenes, terminating applications that are not in use to reclaim needed resources such as memory. Sudden termination allows the system to kill an application’s process immediately without waiting for it to perform any final actions. The system uses this technique to improve the speed of operations such as logging out of, restarting, or shutting down the computer.
Note: If you do not opt in to automatic termination for your applications, the user must explicitly quit your application to remove it from memory.
This is pure and utter bullshit and is declared as a STANDARD. Screw you Apple. Just screw you.
