Agreed, but, say, a 20yo who's never had anything go significantly wrong for them, might not even consider that something bad could happen.

In that case, the appetite for risk versus reward is only appetite for reward.

If risks pointed out, at least that's closer to an informed choice they're making, and maybe they'll do the same risky thing but now be more careful about mitigating risk as they do.
