Default How often do switch contacts become welded closed?

I came across the claim somewhere recently that the proliferation of
DP isolating switches in domestic circuits might be dangerous, because
if the live contacts get welded closed, flipping the switch off will
misleadingly turn the neon indicator off and disconnect the neutral
but not the live.

How often does this problem actually happen?
