Not everybody has problems of dependance with benzos. I suppose the doctor thinks that a patient wouldn't take it if they thought it was unsafe for some reason. The same could be said for AD's as well.
For instance, if my doctor told me that I would get addicted to klonazepam, I would never have taken it. But he didn't and it really helped. I didn't have too much problem getting off of it.
What you are saying is true, but I wouldn't necessarily call it irresponsable.
