I think the literal fear of death _might_ be motivation enough for pilots to advocate for safety? And if they want to fire you, would you want to work for them anyways?

You'd think, but individual humans are very very bad at estimating risk, and in toxic group and work situations, humans will often take on increased personal risk rather than risk conflict. I.e., they will value group conformity over their own safety ... especially if their paycheck is involved. Fear of death is not nearly as powerful as robust regulation and unions.
Famously, this fact is also why no one drives recklessly and no one has lost any limbs with power tools.
The alternative to employment is death. Many people are willing to take a possible chance of dying to avert a certainty of dying.
