"If it was so dangerous, maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't be voluntarily used by quite so many people?"
As if the general public (when considered as a general group/entity) put their health and safety above cost.
Uber is cheaper, therefore they use uber.
Uber is cheaper because it doesn't bother with pesky laws and regulations.
Safety and legality isn't even considered by Mrs and Mrs "average". Saving a few quid is the only thought considered. Legality, safety, morality etc aren't even considered. Service A is £10 service B is £7.50. That's it. Full stop.
By your logic no one would be able to sell dodgy tobacco or alcohol (spoiler: they can), no one would use red diesel, no one would speed or use their phone behind the wheel etc etc etc.
All of these things variously threaten our health and safety, or are morally wrong, or are actually illegal. Still happen millions of time a day though, don't they.
