I think it was ~~Dwayne Johnson~~ Danny Trejo who said in an interview that he never does his stunts, for exactly the reasons given. The key point is also that if the actor performing a key role in the movie gets injured it'll cause at least delays, possibly worse. But it will affect literally hundreds of people just so s/he can feel like a macho for doing the dangerous thing.

A stunt person getting injured isn't just less likely (it's literally their job), it's also much less problematic for everyone else involved if it does happen.

Performing stunts yourself is pure ego.

Danny Trejo has said the same. It is taking work from someone trained to do this and risking the whole production.

Ahh you might be right, it might have been Danny Trejo who I had in mind. Updated my comment, thank you!

That’s just Hollywood. The egos are insane. Beyond out of control. Ice skating uphill.
