Anecdotal non-evidence. You've never noticed or had specific evidence of silent corruption that probabilistically risked silent corruption to quiesced to permanent storage or caused unexplained storage. Perhaps you've never heard of domain bitsquatting but it was rampant before https:// https:// became widespread. All network gear, servers, and client devices need ECC or parity on all buses and at higher level storage, compute, and networking protocols to ensure integrity. Retail consumer electronics manufacturers throw out features customers lack the expertise to understand the consequences of. ECC RAM would need to be enforced by government mandate because that's the only way things will ever change. It's a massive, still present security and data integrity hole that could be closed today by spending a trivial amount of money if it were implemented at large scale.
