I would say your friends are just as financially motivated to cut corners as a restaurant. They have to spend (and save) money making food too.
Salmonella - 1/20000 eggs. Beef/pork - sterile inside, parasites are virtually eliminated from the commercial pork, so only charring on the surface is needed. Salmon - anisakis cannot pass the intestine barrier anyway.
Any food that has been brought to boil/pressure cooker - safe.
