It also means the sprinklers won’t kick on in time to save your life. You could easily die of smoke inhalation before it’s hot enough for the sprinkler. Sprinklers are there to protect the building.

Uhh... they contain the fire. That's pretty important if for no other reason than to prevent people in other parts of the building from dying of smoke inhalation.
Except they've done numerous tests and studies showing sprinklers do save lives. The Station nightclub fire, I believe, could've possibly had zero fatalities if it were properly sprinklered. Not to mention water damage isn't exactly great for buildings.
