I bet even 99.9% of HN visitors don’t run ZFS on their laptop/desktop. Basically we all take this risk except for a few dedicated nerds.

Everything has a price and people like to have their uncorrupted files, but not at all cost.

I have ZFS on nearly all machines and i don't have any cost, the opposite is actually true because of compression, snapshots an boot environment.

I really don't care that much what others run since 99.9% of HN don't run FreeBSD...probably, well except HN itself ;)

I find this thinking difficult to reconcile. When I setup up my workstation it does usually take me half a day to sort out an encrypted rootfs mirrored volume with zfsbootmenu + linux, but after that its all set for the next decade. A small price for the peace of mind it affords.
