I've seen many ECC log lines on machines before, my wifi routers have ECC memory and they have seen at least one fault each. It isn't a one in a million sort of risk, it's just that most systems don't run with ECC, and maybe that bit flip just causes a crash or instability that's chalked up to software bugs. Especially as memory densities continue to skyrocket I would expect to see errors becoming extremely common place.
It's some sort of variation of the Toupee Fallacy, you aren't aware of the frequency of bit errors because you have absolutely no way of knowing when they happen, and what "random" errors were caused by them.
