I know a product that can do more damage with an accidental backspace: the iMessage app for MacOS (Messages).

If you're any sort of power user, you likely know that you can backspace by the word instead of the by the character, using Ctrl + BS on Linux or Cmd + BS on Mac.

In the Messages app, the shorcut to delete your _entire chat history_ is also Cmd + BS, and it works even if your caret is in the text box. So if you type five words and then Cmd + BS six times, you will be prompted to delete your entire chat history.

I do this almost every day. So far I've never compulsively hit return but I am dreading the day it happens.
