But a lot of the people with cracked phone screens seem to take no precautions against it either.

Far too many phone designs favour looks over functionality, lot's of smooth curves and anodised metal or glass bodies which means they're slipperier than a bar of soap.

What people don't do is get a decent case or even a screen protector, for... Hell if I know actually, vanity only explains so much and given how cheap a tempered glass screen protector & silicone case is it can't be economy either 15 quid will sort you out something that works.

I also remember someone paraphrasing a Corning rep (probably Linus Tech Tips), every time they announced they'd made Gorilla Glass tougher the manufacturers (led by Apple) would insist on thinner glass rather keeping the thickness to produce a more durable screen.
