Comment (by joedolson):

 I think that it's important to give user's a confirmation. Even if those
 unsaved settings were persistent, the notice ensures that the user is
 either deciding not to save their changes or reminding them to save their
 changes. When it's a silent behavior, the user can think that they've
 already saved and never come back.
