Yes, but parents tend to not buy things that, in their eyes, represents an admission that they might make a parenting mistake.
Agree to disagree. Many of the things they buy are to prevent injury or death to their child. From the things that hold cabinets closed, to the things that go in electrical outlets, to the stuff they put on corners of furniture, to the baby bath tubs, baby monitors, etc etc. All shite my parents didn't have, but which are essentially considered mandatory nowadays for overworked and tired parents.

Right, but they are to prevent injury or death that could happen at no fault of the parent.

Those things are all designed to prevent injury or death as a result of accidents. There is no expectation by society that parents will have eyes on their children 24 hours a day. There is an expectation by society that parents will not forget their kids in their car.
That, IMO, is the difference between this device and an outlet cover. An outlet cover prevents accidents. This device prevents a kid dying from the parents negligence.
