Aren't the fuel filters in cars good enough to prevent engine damage even if foreign objects or residue were to end up in the tank?

Fuel filters should prevent damage to the engine, but if you got a ton of gunk in the filter you might suddenly find yourself with a dead car on the side of the highway because your fuel line is clogged.
