I’d say being able to hit an intended target and not just praying and spraying is part of firearm safety. Errant bullets can cause a lot of damage. It’s been over a decade since I’ve owned a firearm but it wasn’t for nothing that one of the four fundamental rules of firearm safety I was taught is “be sure of your target and what’s behind it”.
Fun thing in Australia, you don’t need to be able to hit a target to get a gun licence. Licences tests are more focused on firearm safety.

Here you just buy the pistol, and a holster you like, and that’s it.
I mean, that’s how it should be. Just like getting drivers license requires you to demonstrate you can drive safely, so should a firearms license.
In my country we’re required to set an acceptable lap time around the local racetrack.
Local race track, formerly air field, future housing project.
Drive safely and not hit things even.
So, like the gun test.
