Does anyone here actually believe that it adds to the safety of the gun?

I mean, if the idea is to stop the trigger from moving, it won't. ANYTHING that gets in there will press that thingy and allow the trigger to move and subsequently fire.

What, if any, purpose does it serve?
It actually part if the drop safety, should the striker block fail, for whatever reason.
