My theory is that it is the lowest hanging fruit , muscle car wise, and plenty fast enough to get in serious trouble with.
Im betting a lot of not car guys grab them as their first foray into the performance car world

Low (relatively) cost of entry means there are a lot of them on the road, and the percentage of unskilled (in the way of power) drivers, driving them is likely higher than with more expensive vehicles. Folks that can afford more expensive vehicles are usually older with better judgement. Not to say that there aren't responsible young folks that are good (don't get in accidents) drivers or young guys driving expensive cars, or old guys with expensive cars that are bad drivers.

The odds of more serious mishaps are higher with a mustang than a Porsche for several reasons.

I had a work colleague that upgraded from a Honda Accord with a 4-cyl to an Alfa Romeo giulia quadrifoglio with 505hp. He drove it like an old lady during the break in. After the break in he decided to put it into "race" mode to turn right from a stop sign to see what it was like. It didn't turn out well. He fishtailed and ended up hopping the curb and side swiping a tree. After that he was scared of the car.
