Quick releases require a certain minimal level of mechanical competence. More and more products are being designed on principle that entire population of users are complete morons. Designing for the dimwitted prevents legal problems. Also limits choices and degrades performance.

Most common error with quick releases is using them as wingnuts. Any who would even attempt doing that fail the test and should not do anything mechanical to a bike ever. That is probably a third or a quarter of all quick releases ever made. Past 30 years there has been an endless stream of external cam quick releases. Basically not safe, sell like hotcakes. Used on majority? of higher priced QR-equipped bikes for years now. So the pendulum swings and we go from dismal performing external cams to through axles.

One of my bikes in regular rotation is equipped with pre-war FB/Campagnolo QRs. Over 80 years old. Probably among the first few thousand ever made. No problems.
