Yeah there is no way they do that with THREE LOCVs in their history. The fire, Challenger, and Columbia.
It's a risk-averse culture for a reason.

SpaceX is currently on a streak of over 300 successful Falcon missions in a row. I'm not convinced their approach isn't compatible with risk aversion.
They push their test rockets to failure and learn from what goes wrong. That seems to be a pretty good process for getting a solid production rocket.
Tell that to the Starliner crew and the Artemis II crew.
