Maybe they're required to, to get the game past the quality checks that Sony put them through before they're allowed to be released. There might be a checklist of saving dialogs that developers always have to put in place.

They probably decided that the extra annoyance is worth it compared to kids (or careless adults) accidentally wiping their saves or saving in bad/unwinnable situations.

Honestly I tend to manually save twice before quitting most games. I'm sure some gamers are similarly paranoid, and appreciate the game taking extra steps to prove you "really" saved it. Though this is definitely a bit neurotic.
