Nope it's just a matter of, nobody ever looks at the Sun any other day because there's literally no reason to and it's naturally unpleasant, which usually keeps people safe the rest of the time. But during an eclipse people have a reason to look and try to push past the natural instinct to not do that, which exposes them to the danger that's always there but that they usually naturally avoid.

No one usually mentions that staring at the sun during an eclipse is no more harmful than staring at the sun during any sunny day. It just isn't something people normally do. The eclipse came out for about 1/4 second from the clouds. I saw it and I'm pretty sure I'm ok.

Just my opinion, but I believe the damage comes from prolonged viewing. A quick glance may dazzle your vision but it will pass.
