A better analogy would imo be risk to grenading an engine with i/h/e (easily accessible with relatively low risk) vs a turbo kit (less accessible, higher risk). There are likely way more people that have grenaded their engine with bolt ons however it is way more accessible and the percentage of people that have grenaded their engine with a turbo is likely higher although the overall number is lower.
Then you can look at as to whether the engine would have grenaded independently of I/H/E (i.e people in their 80s with chronic disease with poor prognosis like cood, cardiac failure, kidney failure etc).
In the end its way more complex than alluded to. Unfortunately nuance doesnt seem to exist anymore.
