Who here really believes what they claim to?

While they may know it's dangerous, they may also judge the risk to be minimized or inaccurately assess the statistics. That's an important factor you're missing in all of this. It's dangerous to walk out into a thunderstorm, especially if I'm the tallest thing in the field, but that doesn't automatically mean I'm going to get hit by lighting. I might consider the risk factor negligible in comparison to, I don't know, making a paycheck.

Yes, but we're talking about something more certain. Like driving without your seatbelt (against the law), because you wish to accept the risk of the accident. Everyone who drives a car, statistically speaking, will eventually get into an accident. Harm minimization is simply an implicit requirement of engaging in activities we know to be hazardous or dangerous. Customers shouldn't get to choose whether the workers are put at risk or not.
