“Home births are not for everyone.”
I know. I almost died after my first home birth and we could not resuscitate our son, so we transferred to the hospital for help.
I just wish the researchers didn’t try so hard to make it look more dangerous than it is. Most children born at home will do just fine.

I agree with you. But I would say “many” and not “most”.
Especially with women starting later having babies. I was in poor shape because of my age. I ended up with PIH totally out of control. I had two code teams in the room when she was born.
First baby, I wouldn’t risk it. I’d go for the birthing center and a midwife. They know what to look for. After that, with good prenatal care, go for it. I hate hospitals anyway.
