It’s the same exact question, if you have safety features available for dangerous tools, ones that cost extra, why aren’t you employing them?
Use your words, a link isn’t a rebuttal.
Just for fun, here’s a bunch of professionals discussing why people who rely on saw stop are a liability on their floor… Up to and including “do not hire”. It’s exactly what I already described. This tech breeds complacency and there’s more tools in that shop than the table saw. Professionals don’t use saw stops.
If you feel you need that feature on a table saw, frankly you shouldn’t be operating one at all. Really. There’s no shame in that. I am terrified of lathes and I won’t use em. I understand they’re useful and perfectly safe, but it’s just a personal thing. If you feel that unsafe that you’ll essentially pay an ante every time you want to make a cut? You shouldn’t be using it.
Fact is that saw stop will cost you a bunch of money over the course of using it for a few years. It will ruin blades to protect… Damp wood. Or a staple, often found on lumber. And then you get to buy another charge for a couple hundred bucks. You’ll do that twice before finally realizing it was just a money sink in the first place and you won’t buy another.
Go ask twenty table saw owners the question, you’re gonna get twenty identical answers.
You don’t even own a table saw. I bet you’ve never even used one.
Your opinion on them isn’t near as valuable as that of owners and professionals who use them all the time. It costs you nothing to spread a bad opinion. I’m gonna correct it to help strangers save money. Deal with it.

I payed for the safety features I felt I needed and I’d do the same if I was buying a saw.

I’m not reading a wall of text for something I care so little about. People can spend their money how they want.
Awh reading is hard.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone get so bent out of shape over something so pointless. I hope your day gets better.
