At least in Germany every driver has to get certified once before they get their driving license. So not everybody who is licensed is a professional, rather the opposite here. Its everyday common folk.
I think I may be too autistic to fully understand this; even as everyday common folk, they’re more scared of touching a boob than letting someone die an entirely preventable death? That’s bananas.
You’re error in logic is in thinking that it is a conscious decision between “not letting them die” and “not touching their boobs”. In reality those who are too scared to touch are those that don’t have a good analysis of the situation in the first place.
For those people it’s a “probably it’s not as bad as I think, because nobody else is doing anything either” thing. The problem is exactly that they don’t know how bad it really is. If they knew, most would not actively pet people die. It’s exactly the ambiguity and inability to correctly assess the situation that hurts the person who needs help.
I genuinely have a hard time believing that someone trained to do CPR would refuse to do so because touching the boob of a stranger is too scary.

Panic can turn off the rational part of someone’s brain. Plus freshly pulseless people don’t look all that different than they did a minute ago.
Add in some agonal breathing and some people don’t grasp how serious the situation is.
