For the purposes of natural selection, everything that's happened since the Pyramids (and probably several hundred thousand years prior to that) is effectively instantaneous and natural selection/evolution has had no time to "react".
If anything, the narrative should be that clearly being inattentive in safe scenarios isn't selected against and thus can't be that detrimental to reproducing successfully.
