Maybe if we get the "safety" nannies to focus on hose clamps, they'll

Well, we could add a safety wire to the hose clamp:
"Safety Wire Those Worm Drive Clamps"

But... but... wouldn't the end of the wire be kind of sharp?

It would be pointless if it weren't sharp.
(Sorry, but that was just too tempting).

As in brake and shifter cables, there are crimp on end caps to help
minimize the bleeding:

When using safety wire, the twisted wires are commonly folded back on
themselves to avoid making a point. See photo #11:

Notice the drill jig for bolts that lack safety wire holes.

Soon, bicyclists everywhere will be drilling holes in their bolt heads
for safety wires. If this is all too complexicated, use Occam's
Razor.

.... speaking of sharp...
