It is hard to see life as a risk if government, at the demand of the populace, removes those risks. It becomes a habit to ask for the government to do something about removing them. Make this safer. Make that easier. Government providing education turns into indoctrination. Government providing healthcare turns into euthanasia and abortion, where life and death become a cost/benefit analysis and instead of some individuals needing charity for medical services very few could afford it on their own.
The do-gooders will rush in and save everyone from themselves replacing the physical chains of slavery with mental and regulatory chains.

Government intervening usually means prolonging the problem. A good example is Keynesian economics, where government intervenes to correct a bump. In case after case, it only prolongs it to a bumpy ride. Something like the Covid vaccine, which still produces casualties. Natural immunity could be likened to classical economics. There's no breaking the bank for Big Pharma.
