Equating a frustrating anti-pattern of websites with medical equipment failure is extremely disingenuous. An infusion pump failure can harm a person, and according to the article, has seriously injured at least on person. Hijacking the back button isn't going to physically harm someone.

Well excuse me for being extremely disingenuous then. But the no harm argument is arguable incorrect, I myself might get a heart attack some day because of a dark pattern given how infuriating those things can be.
