That's true, but the chances of quite a lot of things happening over 100,000 years are fairly big.
Almost everything we do carries a small but non-zero risk of something which, if you stretched it over a hundred thousand years, would almost certainly be realized.
On the other hand, the average damage from a collision in space within 100,000 years is also pretty small.
