Stumbled on a stat about AFCI breakers that surprised me

I was reading through the 2023 NEC code book at my local supply house and found out that nearly 40% of house fires starting in bedrooms are linked to older wiring that isn't AFCI protected. I always knew arc faults were a thing but that number felt way higher than I expected. Has anyone else run into homeowners pushing back on the extra cost for these breakers even after hearing stats like that?
