Why fix it? Bought a new edger you can't wait to use? Sidewalk isn't sufficiently overrun by grass?

Anything you want to be able to replace or add to. Having innerduct makes it really easy to do that.

From Northern MN down to Nebraska the vast majority of water lines I've worked around have been more than 5' deep.
Code is probably 5' minimum but it's normal to be below that, often well below that.

Probe rods have a ball shaped end.
Good ones do, at least.

It's like this because of short-sighted profit obsessions.
Employers literally think, "Why should I give them raises if they're already here willingly working for their current wage?"
They extend better offers to new hires because no one will start a job for what they're currently paying people. Most of those people are in a position where they feel trapped. They don't have the savings (or are too risk averse) to move somewhere for a new job, they have leases, medical issues for which they fear a period without insurance (which is why insurance should not be tied to employment). And so on and so forth.
The result is a loss of talent, but since higher-ups so often believe themselves to be the only true talent, they rarely fear that.

And then it will be graded
Its color found wanting.
Heavily occluded.
It's broken into fragments
And used as an abrasive.

I'd like to add to this: While benzos on their own are rarely fatal if overdosed, withdrawal from them is one of the most dangerous forms of withdrawal, and can itself be fatal.
I've known some people who would read that they're so rarely fatal high doses and think, "wow I can take all the benzos I want! Benzos are safe!"
