People keep forgetting that every recall is a fix for a bug/problem in the car. Sure, Tesla's fixes might be easier, but that also means they have the buggier car. Until Tesla actually fixes the problem, it doesn't matter how easy it is to fix: you still have to deal with the fallout.
That's even more immensely true for safety-critical systems like cars. Sure, Tesla's fix for phantom braking might eventually come and it might be an easy software fix. But wouldn't you just rather get a car without that problem?
They follow the fail fast principle. They've innovated faster than anyone else. So to me, it seems intentional. Still scares the crap out of me and is one reason I don't want one.
