If you don’t have this extra feature, all your safety depends on you. That still is the case.

Do you work for Tesla FSD? That's exactly their stance. If I'm still dependent, then it doesn't do what it says on the tin. I want my money back.
“Pay money for this feature”

“Ok, here’s your money”

“By the way, to use the feature, you actually just do it yourself and then pretend the product did it”

That depends on how they fail. If they trigger on false positives, that's money wasted on lost time and damaged equipment.

On the flip side, if they fail a real case, it may well be because they engendered a false sense of safety, a bit like a sharp knife being safer than a dull one.

People exhibit different behaviors of risk taking when they know there are safety systems in place to protect them.
Never mind the extra money spent on a "safe" saw vs the one without.
