Selection bias. We don't know how many crafts fail to make it to Earth. Maybe the trip is extremely dangerous and only a percentage actually make it.
And/or, like most air & space travel, takeoff and landing are the most dangerous parts.
Also, we have a very good handle on air travel, but planes still crash sometimes.
(I don't actually believe we have ET crafts coming to earth, but it's fun thinking it through).
