I know people who’ve driven drunk for more than a decade, and only crashed when they were sober. Does that mean drinking and driving is safe?
I literally had one of my devices fail to boot after an update pretty much every month, and another a few times a year. Sure, I was able to fix it with only arch-chroot, but when I switched to btrfs I didn’t need to carry around a flash drive with me when updating the system…
The last few years I’m on nixos, and while it sometimes fails to update, it has not once failed to boot.

Thats’s a really bad analogy
One endangers others while the other makes a couple of files and photos go poof
The danger and the stakes are not what is being compared, though. It’s a perfectly good analogy.
