I see your point but not everyone may be as careful as you.
"Mythbusters" did a story about this very topic...
It freaked me out when I saw the security video footage of real pump fires caused by static electricity.
They also found women were more likely to leave the nozzle unattended so they could sit down in there car while it filled up.
BTW: The first thing a tanker driver does before filling a service station tank with gas is attach his static discharge cable.
