@sjcooke66 @lolennui It's because commercial aircraft failures are comparatively few and far between, but when they happen the consequences are high and therefore regarded as intolerable in the general public's risk management hierarchy.
Meanwhile, society blithely accepts that orders of magnitude more people will be killed and maimed in auto accidents on an ongoing basis, and nothing gets done at a systemic level about average vehicle size, road speeds, and other proven harm reducers.

Um, just two years after first delivery to a commercial operator, the 737 Max had twice dived into the ground after a single attitude indicator failure on each plane. Do you blithely accept that?
@artemesia @sjcooke66 @lolennui Not at all.
For context: 346 in the two uncontrolled nosedives is about the same as three days of US road deaths. The airline fatalities get our attention, while the others are regarded as background noise.
