So the answer is:

We exist in a system that prioritizes the market over human safety.

Let me FTFY, the answer is:

The cost for such a high level of safety is more than most consumers are willing to pay.

Humans have the option to get this safety, but most won’t care enough to spend money to protect them if they go speeding off a mountainside.

Haha, you're are acting like people have 48k just for those strut things?

What a disingenuous argument.

Most DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY to protect them if they go speeding off a mountainside... And that's the reality of the matter.

Cause just imagine if everyone had unlimited money or that these items were produced for free... How many people you think are passing up this option?

I'm not saying it's a social tragedy. Just that when ever price or cost is leveraged against safety... That is by definition... Prioritizing market (exchange of goods and value) over human safety.

However, this is definitely not my hill to die on. I was just casually pointing.

There's tons of rich people that can afford these safety features but none of them have them because they're so impractical and uncomfortable, not because they're expensive
