That's the whole point of doing the exercise in the first place. You get hurt and have bad form because you are weak. Squats are not just for leg strength. They work the entire posterior chain. Any exercise has the potential to hurt you if you do it incorrectly.

I don't disagree. My argument is that getting the technique right on certain exercises is harder & have a higher risk than others.
