It's true but other risks are usually discrete. PFAS exposure continously decreases your health while driving a car has no effect on your health until you get into an accident.

The risk calculation feels different in those cases.

Cars impact your health if you would have otherwise used some form of self propelled transportation (i.e. walking).
