No, that's not the same thing. Something being used in a more dangerous way doesn't make it more dangerous or more unsafe.
Driving a car at speed along a cliff in the dark in the rain is more unsafe than driving it slowly in an empty car park. It's the same car.
If I included a self destruct button beside the AC controls and claimed that it was driver error that was the problem, how credible would that be?
That would be an unsafe car in all conditions and with all drivers. Sure, user error would play a part but a reasonable person could still cause a problem.
Perhaps a better analogy will make a useful point. Is there a button for that?
