They talk about the safety record of Saturn rockets without mentioning that using those isn’t currently possible

And that, at least from my memory, multiple people in the Saturn Program considered it to have been extremely good luck to not have had a failure which led to deaths.

Except it did. Apollo 1 ended with a fire on the pad, killing all three astronauts.

well, Apollo was not part of the Saturn program, was it?
Rocket did fine, even during Apollo 13 it wasn't the Saturn.
