Sick of this phrase

“Out of an abundance of caution.”

This weasel statement generally precedes the following:
We are notifying you that all your personal data has probably/likely/surely been compromised.

We are notifying you your car airbags are/maybe/surely defective and will deploy with excessive force and behead you.

There is no offer of compensation. Only a fake offer of caution.
