Countless people also get sick every day. In the US alone, 265000 people get infected with E.coli every year, and roughly 100 of them dies from it. Yes, you will be fine 99/100 times, but it's not a risk that is in any way shape or form worth it

No, you absolutely can do that with mince if you want to and the risk is pretty minimal all things considered. Countless people do it everyday without ever having an issue. Also, color isn’t a 1 to 1 relationship with safe temperature. People will often cook pork to shit just because they think it needs to look ghost white to be safe to eat.

Adding Banana Ketchup as well as using Filipino Style Spaghetti Sauce makes it extra authentic. I know the recipe on those packs don't include using extra banana ketchup, so that's above and beyond. Extra points if the 1/4 cup of water is first used to swish around the sauce packet to make sure you get every bit of it.

I remember one of the Italian youtubers whose job is partly to be upset at cooking Italian food wrong being pretty okay with it because it's not trying to be anything Italian as it's called Filipino-style Spaghetti.

Though I did once see an Italian person at a Filipino restaurant being teased by some of his Filipino friends by saying they're going to order him some Spaghetti and he was, I'm sure half-jokingly, yelling in maybe mock terror that "Please, no, no pasta. Everything else is good, but no Filipino pasta."

But I imagine that was also because he was also exposed to what we call carbonara, etc.

While true, it requires proper food safety precautions and still bears e coli risk. With beef, the bacteria stay on the surface of the muscle. A steak that is seared outside and rare in the middle has still been sterilized by the searing. That aspect goes away with ground beef, where the former surfaces get all mixed in together. When eating a raw minced beef dish like carpaccio or tartare, the proper prep is to remove and discard the outer surface of the steak before mincing in a clean work area and serving immediately. So, in short, eating a medium hamburger patty holds a fair amount more e coli risk than a rare steak.
