"We have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction."
~ US State Department, 1948

Another characteristic of subduction zone quakes is their depth. The depth of the epicenter quakes here in California is usually 5 to 10 miles because the San Andreas is a srike-slip fault. Whereas the depth of the epicenter of subduction zone quakes is sometimes as much as 50 miles, so the the area of damage is much wider.
But the places that wiggle a little all the time aren't the scary spots on a moving fault. It's the stuck places along the fault between the moving sections that cause the problems when they finally break loose.
The Cascadia subduction zone has the potential for a 9.0 like the one that hit Japan that would generate large tsunamis, and devastate the entire Pacific basin.
