LVM can not possibly be life-threatening, in opposite to a non-used
seatbelt, which is why your argument is bogus ;-)
Automatically introducing complexity into 95% of the users systems just because it could
be useful some day is, quite frankly, embarassing. It makes sense the
other way 'round: complexity adds to the diffculties when
having to handle data operations (backup, encryption, transfer,
recovery..) , which in turn makes data loss more likely.
