> I've yet to be saved by an airbag or seatbelt. Is that justification to stop using them?

By now, getting a car without airbags would probably be more costly if possible, and the seatbelt takes 2s every time you're in a car, which is not nothing but is still very little. In comparison, analyzing all the dependencies of a software project, vetting them individually or having less of them can require days of efforts with a huge cost.

We all want as much security as possible until there's an actual cost to be paid, it's a tradeoff like everything else.

It's true that it takes 2 seconds to fasten a seatbelt but it still had to be mandated by law before most people started actually doing it

The funniest part is that it always gets traded off, everytime. Talking about tradeoffs you'd think sometimes you'd keep it sometimes you'd let it go, but no, its every goddamn time cut it.
