I feel caffeine is one of those things that like paracetamol (which obviously has a __much__ higher death toll from ODs than caffeine ofc) is not really seen by young people (or even people in general) as having a low LD50.

For paracetamol, of course, there is data to back up the fact that many have no idea how easily you can die — caffeine is arguably a lot safer.
