Someone who’s not competent enough to install a proper transfer switch (or at least hire a professional to do it) shouldn’t be operating a generator.

That’s not the point. Normal, sensible people make mistakes because they are tired or stressed or got distracted or just plain unlucky, so things have to be designed so that people can make a mistake and it not instantly create a potentially lethal situation

I don’t think you understand how easy it is to flip the main breaker, and how nearly impossible it is to forget as you’re turning off basically every breaker in the panel before connecting the generator.
