I think EAs are put way too much effort into thinking about safety cases compared to thinking about reducing risks on the margin in cases where risk is much higher (and willingness-to-pay for safety is much lower), because it seems unlikely that willingness-to-pay will be high enough that we’ll have low risk at the relevant point. See e.g. here.
