I don't think those two scenarios are comparable. The safety features are in use on an airplane constantly. Backups are only needed when a disaster happens. It'd be more akin to B/A announcing that some emergency system like the air masks isn't functioning. Still incredibly troubling, especially if there was a cabin depressurization scenario, but not to the level of all safety features being broken.

Not all the safety features are in use all the time. Like, you don't use the inflatable slide unless your evacuating.

Sure, and I never said all of them are used all the time, but parent comment specifically did say "all the safety features". I wanted to make the distinction clear that safety features in planes can and are used actively during flights, whereas backups are only used when there's a catastrophe.
