In the Customize Face buffer most users will think the "Apply and Save"
button will save their changes to a file, only to unknowingly lose them
upon exit.

Only if they read (info "(emacs) Saving Customizations") will they learn
of the hidden "Save for Future Sessions" button.

I propose the latter button be placed on the interface right beside the
former button, visible from the start.

Also whatever makes this comment
 ;; custom-set-... was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
should mention it too.

Nothing got saved for me

EZ> What "Save for Future Sessions" button?  I only see  "Save for Future

Ah, so there are two different "states" for saving...

OK I'll close this bug. Customization has always been a disaster for me.
Forget it.
