This is a Positioning question: Risk Fit is the pattern that decides what this behavior means.
Quiet Ntel reads this through Positioning, not through emotional guessing. The issue sits in Comparison Pain / Safer Choice, so the page should separate what appears to be happening from what the structure is doing. The next step is to route the reader toward Lower Friction Selection / Social Fit.
The reader is trying to interpret safer choice as a personal verdict instead of reading it as a decision pattern.
