There's a long history of taking the dulled down, de-risked, mitigated, and ultimately successful technologies that we've allowed to proliferate our society and say "see, no need to do dulling down, de-risking, mitigation!"

Bioweapons haven't proliferated through dedicated effort to prevent it.

Nuclear weapons aren't used through dedicated effort to prevent it.

Gangs don't rule our civilization through dedicated effort to prevent it.

Chattel slavery doesn't exist in the western world through dedicated effort to eliminate and prevent it.

Bad outcomes aren't impossible by default, and they're probably not even less likely than good outcomes. Bad outcomes are avoided through effort to avoid them!
