I’m not sure what qualifies as “hobbyist” in your book, but the vast majority of hobby-level printers I’ve interacted with over the last 5+ years are into MSLA more than FDM. 🤷🏽♂️
Which is most of hobbyist 3D printing. Resin printing has its issues, especially with strength

But it’s what anyone into miniatures uses due to much higher details

Miniatures ≠ most of the 3d printing market. Minis may be fine but the rest of the 3d printing space will be at risk and covers a great deal more use cases.

And sheer toxicity. You need fume vents and air quality monitoring for processing resin.

The the damn resin absorbing into your skin and curing the next time you’re in direct sunlight. Resin is super detailed, but I can’t say I particularly enjoy doing it.

That’s terrifying I haven’t even considered that. I like my FDM machine.

Eh, it isn’t so bad as long as you take precaution.
Wear gloves and a mask, and make sure to keep your tools separate.
