I never thought about it until a buddy told me he saw one of his sparking. But I don't recall if we had time to get into it as far as if it was old, used or whatever. I'm sure 99% of them are designed to be extremely safe and do what they're designed to do. And if they're treated well there's about zero chance of malfunction.
I think some folks were just raised to be hyper concerned about shutting any electrical item off when leaving the house alone, like double checking coffee makers and stuff. I mostly confined crock potting to weekends because of that. Although I may have done a weekday once.
How many of you are willing to leave a crock pot on 8 hours while the house is empty?

I’ve done it many times. But now that you’ve put that thought in my head....
