Are they even saved by default in an MS account? Because if I'd link one, I would expect them to at least prompt me

I believe you can find them in the first Microsoft account that you registered to that windows install.

happened to my ma's computer, her microsoft account+key was not saved in there so she just. lost all her important work documents. also, what of the people who don't have another device to look up the website where the key is stored?

Well, most people do have a secondary device, and of those that don't, in most cases they can just use someone else's.
