IS FTTP a good idea? I was installing fibre in a trial and its a PITA

You cant bend it too much
If some numpty rips up a cabe doing a driveway we cant splice it easily
The ends of fibre cable are really sharp and can give you a splinter
The light could burn your retna.

There are just too many stupid people out there. Would it not be as good to run fibre to a pit or cab say then run shielded cat7 to every house?
