Survivorship bias. “We have been doing this safety thing forever, but nothing bad ever happens. Let’s stop doing the safety thing!“
See also, “why pay for firefighters if there’s so few fire incidents in our city?”, and also “I’ve never been in a car crash, no need to use a seat belt.”
Exactly, it’s not there for the unforseen improbable plane crash. It’s there for the moments people statistically actually die a preventable death, as in fucking up and misbehaving during evacuations, stampeding others to death or dying of asphyxia because they were too stupid to listen to the flight crew.
Yet yours is exactly the kind of stupid rethoric politicians use to convince constituents of defunding emergency and security services. Congratulations on being part of the problem.

Every regulation is written in blood.
the safety briefing doesn’t effect the probability of a crash…

the probability of a fire is much higher and firefighters are underpaid, people need to care more about fires, and less about plane crashes…
similarly: we need more air traffic controllers and they should be paid more…

the safety briefing is the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff…
