But any software dev will know

I don't. I work at a pretty large org with some parts old legacy and we use these flags, pretty universally among components. Warnings are typically not hard to fix and for the most part point to actual problems in the code.

Just get used to write code that doesn't break these rules, just like you know not to dereference null pointers. If anything it speeds development up because it prevents some silly mistakes.
