I care about the problem not this solution!
UX design is FILLED with examples of this type of ineffective thinking: take a horrible problem that happens in 0.0001% of all rides. And make a useless dialog that 100% of people see every single time. It's performative. It accomplishes nothing.
It's likely the same number people are killed every year by lightning. Should we post signs on every tree to stay away during a storm? Of course not but does saying that imply I don't care about those deaths? Not at all.
