I don't think it's the ropes that are used that make climbing dangerous...
what is it in your opinion?
Using the equipment incorrectly.
Agreed
Or other forms of inexperience. If you were climbing a rock face and didn't realize the part you were trusting your life to wasn't as stable as you thought it would be and your attachments give out.
And sometimes bad luck. RIP my uncle, who has been climbing for decades until one day he fell to his death.
