You could and you’d be making a similar point to the OP: cars are far more dangerous and have governors only to protect the engine from damage, not to protect people.
While I think they’re being a dick, you’re wrong about the purpose of governors - they’re also there to prevent the loss of handling that results from low speed tires / low power power-steering being run beyond their rated capacity (and historically to prevent blowover crashes, which is only really a risk to trucks anymore)
