Good to know, 20-30 more opportunities for sh!t to go wrong. You speak as if you know all 950+ Americas tire dealers in the US do exactly as they are supposed to every week of every year. Truly I wish they did. I've had friends that have busted tires 7 days a week too, it's not easy work. No, it isn't rocket science BUT it is draining & repetitive, in which humans by nature get complacent.
I have just seen a lot of threads/posts discussing stretched broken wheel studs, a combination of inaccurate torque, inexperienced tech and weak/soft material in wheel studs, who knows. Just saying, more oft than not things break because of human error.
Side note: I just had the wheels off of a friend's Colorado ZR2, those studs/lugs take 100ftlbs.
