It's exactly the same. With both you have no idea if you'll be compromised once you pick up a new item from the store. With both you wait a week, in case the authorities issue a recall. With both you use it after that one week of waiting. Both are relying on luck to be safe.

The crazy thing is the risk from food is higher, we just don't really mind, because it's rare that we personally get affected

As much as I dislike this distribution model, this is a completely misapplied analogy. In npm with cooldowns case you "buy" a thing and get to use it instantly without any delay, it just won't get improved until a few days later - exactly as if the project you installed would use some timed staging channel for testing before making releases, except you're the one who controls the timing here.
