Unfortunately, you are incorrect. I doubt many, if any, of us here have experienced it personally. But it can happen. What happens more often, as several here have mentioned already, is that it damages the data that is stored on the hardware. Which can create a problem that is even more difficult to fix than replacement of damaged hardware. You don't want an OS damaging hardware, OR damaging data. Nor should it allow other players to damage hardware or data. Any of these bad outcomes will be a major ding to an OS'es reputation.
