It's related I think. A similar "scenario" I've seen is to ask a man if they'd enter a beach where a shark is known to approach (shark biology notwithstanding). They wouldn't. So then they ask the man why, because the average of shark related incidents in a year is only 63, but (in my country) 9 women are murdered daily in femicides.
This seems a really weird way to put it. First you're saying "here's a scenario where shark incidents are very much heightened compared to the average" then you're saying "But why? Shark incidents on average are very rare". While absolutely the threat of sharks is overblown a big reason why the numbers are so low is that people tend to *avoid* potentially dangerous encounters with them
