Imagine the owner in a moment of crisis with a gun like this one.
Bad Guy takes aim with his gun, our 5 Safety Gun Owner supremely confident aims, squeezes the trigger and nothing happens.
Oops Safety-1 ... let me turn that off,squeezes the trigger and nothing happens.
Ooops Safety-2 ... let me turn that off,squeezes the trigger and nothing happens.
Oooops Safety-3 ...let me turn that off,squeezes the trigger and nothing happens.
Ooooops Safety-4 ...let me turn that off,squeezes the trigger and nothing happens.
Oooooops Safety-5 ...let me turn that off, now I am ready.
Looks up to see that the bad guy has fallen asleep.

A pistol? Zero.
The human carrying the pistol must be safe.

I'm noting that, when the Poles developed the Radom Vis wzor 35 9mm pistol, it was specified that there should be no safety (though there was a hammer release). Likewise, the Tokarev 7.62x25 had no safety, other than a half cock notch (a very unsafe feature, IMO!). The 1911 had a lot of safeties, in comparison.
I do wonder if a handgun needs so many safeties, especially a modern striker-fired DA pistol. Well, everyone had an idea about what suits them best.

I do like a decocker, but I don't trust them. I always make sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction if I use it.
