Well I can see where some might not want to "risk" it from the standpoint of
reliability and the problem of getting stuck all or part way through an
assignment with a broken piece of equipment...
I don't pay the mortgage and normal bills with my income from photography,
but I do make some important payments with the money I earn. I could not
afford to be without the income. I could not afford to be caught with a
broken piece of gear - and yet I do in fact use all vintage cameras for
everything I shoot. I take care of my gear, make sure it is operational
before I go on assignment, carry back-ups of critical items, and allow
plenty of time for the unexpected.
