And the ground meat in the store is coming from like twenty different cows, and the grinder has been exposed to meat from probably about a hundred cows that day.

When you grind at home, you can select a single large piece of beef to grind. So instead of running the risk of contamination from every single piece of beef that passed through that grinder, you’re just running the risk from one. So even if you decide to cook on the rarer side, you’re much safer.
