Don't people just fill up and run it until the warning light comes on and then go get gas? That's my system 95% of the time unless I'm planning some sort of extended trip.

No. I don't. Once it gets below 1/4 tank I'm stopping at my gas station of choice on the way home. I'm not clear why people need to see an idiot light turn on to remind them to fuel up when every car has a fuel gauge staring right at them in the instrument cluster. As said above it's not great for fuel pump longevity to be constantly running on empty as it can lead to the pump running hotter than it needs to.
