That's not how it works. If the defi contracts collapse, the borrowers get margin called. The borrowers must overcollateralize quite a bit, usually 1.5x or 2x what they are borrowing. You could argue that the sell order will fall through in the case of a total market collapse. But the market has fallen 90% in the past and this has not happened.
