The GP literally provided you with examples of where additional components can provide resilience while still allowing the circuit to function should they fail. And yet you still reply with the reductive argument that there is some magical one-to-one correlation between component count and probability of failure.

And totally ignoring that there are many chargers out there which work totally fine with a much smaller BOM.

Nobody has ignored that fact.

What we disagree on is whether those additional components add value to the quality of the overall product.
