I wasn't saying make it bullet proof, just some simple goof proofs. Like on the 5v plug, that kind of thing. I get the whole cost thing and by and large agree.
I'm sure to try and cover everything would cost a bit, Not sure why anyone would be putting 220v to the 5v plug, but i could understand reverse polarity on the 5v plug. Not sure it needs to be gone to the extreme. How hard/costly is it to fix something like reverse polarity or blown gpio? if repairs are easy enough, perhaps protection isn't worth it.
