I have to say I really hate it when games artificially restrict my ability to save. I seldom engage in save-scumming because I don't care for it, so I don't do it; but if my opportunities for saving were removed because someone else didn't like the possibility of me doing something in my own game that they dislike I'd be pretty annoyed.
I'm much more likely to need to go and attend to something at a moment's notice rather than save-scum and find games that are all "lol you'll have to replay from the last checkpoint, sucks to be you" to be tedious and irritating.
