I've seen this tendency in other areas. There are travellers who plan everything, afraid of encountering a situation that they haven't planned for. And there are travellers who trust in their ability to cope with any situation.
As the GP says, this is about fear. Fear that if you don't plan for it now, you won't be able to deal with it if it happens. Or in architecture terms, fear that your system will be faced with a requirement that it can't cover.
Trying to plan for every eventuality is usually wasted effort. Better to build robustly, and trust in your ability to adapt.
