Are automakers really the best comparison here? Seems like inherently dangerous devices are sold, kill thousands, and there is little accountability.

They might actually be the best comparison, but for making the opposite point.

Cars are very dangerous, manufacturers continue to knowingly make them more dangerous[0], but ultimately it's only the person behind the wheel that is accountable for the harm they cause.
