I get that, but it seems strictly better than, for example, blowing up a trail full of oil cars.

If the goalposts move as fast as these trains are marketed to move, I'm sure we could find all sorts of things worse than the already terrible tragedy of a deliberate derailment, explosion, or sabotage of a high speed train.

The goalposts didn't move, you were just reminded that conventional trains frequently carry explosive freight.
