You don't need eye protection unless your weapon ejects casings the wrong way or, is experimental
I used to work with munitions and high pressure systems. Your remark is laughable. It amounts to "you don't need eye protection...unless you do." You don't need a seat belt, either, unless you collide with something. You don't need a life vest, unless you are thrown into the water. When you are operating something that involves pressures on the order of tens of thousands of psi, you use eye protection.
It's not needed. Firearms are not going to blow your eyes off. Imagine you're carrying and a criminal pulls out his weapon. "hold up criminal, let me put on some safety specs". If you want that extra safety when training then fair days. But the likeliness that your eyes will be significantly damaged is lower than being involved in a plane crash.
Look. Be reasonable. The eye and ear protection applies to training and practice. It does not apply to carrying and emergent use. In fact, firearms can blow your eyes off. There are accidents where the slide breaks the frame and comes off the end toward the face. Double rounds have loaded and blown the weapon apart. Rare? Yes. Ammo will eject back into your face. (You sound like someone who knows nothing about serious firearm accidents.) But who wants to gamble when it is possible to wear protection for---training and practice.
It's not just rare though. It's extremely rare. Fair enough if you are using surplus ammunition and an unreliable firearm. Even then it's still extremely rare. I know a guy that's mate shot a target pin and it ricocheted into his shoulder. Freak accidents happen. Do you wear big ballistic shoulder pads for shooting? No. You wear ear defenders as it is likely to damage your hearing as it is past the safe decibel range. I don't wear safety specs. At the end of the day, it's personal choice. That's why it's called, "PPE". PERSONAL protective equipment"...
