I forget, I might've seen one BSoD in six years of running XP. And
that was probably a driver issue -- the only thing that can screw
with it, it seems.

The protected model was there since the 286. There's no excuse for not
implementing it properly. Even though the OS didn't cause the crashes it
should have prevented them.
