Nobody wants to design for the worst case except maybe the military.
I can understand why. Deploying and maintaining the generating and distribution capacity needed to handle the worst case drives up the cost for everyone and you only see the payoff once in a while. The rest of the time, everyone just complains about their rates.
So there's continual pressure to "right size" the system to cover nominal conditions. When the occasional 3-sigma outlier event happens, like it is now, everybody bitches and points fingers. But then it's quickly forgotten as we move on to the next story.
