No. `write-region' does not do the same thing at all.
And no, `save-buffers' is not only "a very user level function".

As I said:

Do you deny that this function is sometimes called from Lisp?
If you instead accept that, then why shouldn't a caller of it
be able to control the messaging behavior?

What does it cost Emacs to add an optional MSG argument?
