AYRT

No, they aren't obligated. But isn't it damn nice when they do & you don't have to worry about dying just because you want to eat a brownie? Similarly, if you walk into a hall full of bake sale stalls, and 70% label their brownies for whether they contain nuts, won't you be a little put out (even if you aren't feeling entitled!) when the other 30% don't? It's about culture, and the fact that writing "Pecans!" on a sign takes less time out of your day than complaining about all those entitled people with nut allergies who want a warning.

No, I wouldn't. I would get a brownie from the stalls that are labeled, or if I really wanted one of the other ones, I'd ask the person running the stall if it was okay or not.

Likewise, if someone has triggers, they can read fic on any one of the numerous sites or communities that requires warnings. They don't get to go to someone's personal journal or tumblr or a community where warnings aren't required and raise a stink when warnings aren't used. Authors are not under any obligation to use warnings unless they're posting on a site that requires them. I'm really sick of the attitude that an author is somehow an OMG TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING if they don't label their fic. It's their choice whether they want to or not, just like it's the choice of the person with triggers whether they want to read something in a location where warnings aren't required.
