That doesn’t make sense. If that was the only reason, it would be easier and safer to just get people to take their liquid, in its container, out of the bag at scanning time
I thought that somebody could sneak a explosive liquid into a plane via cup or bottle, and that the liquid could look so much like coffee or water or fuckin diet Pepsi that the security people were like “nah bro we aren’t gonna test it”.
The liquids are not allowed because they mess with explosive detectors. Not because anyone thinks they are dangerous.
It’s not “too dangerous to allow liquid on a plane”. It’s “we can’t detect explosives in your luggage if there are also liquids in it”.
Why can’t the liquid be allowed on the plane after the rest of your luggage is scanned then?

Agree, but security theater is more important, clearly.
