Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.
But most people can't, so they need insurance.
Every year? Ò_o

Yes, if you pet gets a long term medical condition, it can cost thousands every year. A good policy will pay out every year
So the insurers pay out thousands every year yet don't charge their customers this much. What an interesting business model!
I may add up what we've paid our vets over the decades but I bet it's a whole lot less than we'd have paid for insurance even including the usual larger bills when cats are getting older.

In 2011 Insurance paid £3000 for my dog after I had paid 2 years premiums of £25 per month.
I have paid less than £30 per month since then and last year my premium was reduced to £26 per month so I have a few years in hand before I have paid them as much as they have paid out.
She is , of course, still covered.
I consider that amount is worth the peace of mind that I won't have to pay a sudden large bill for vet treatment.
Those who don't claim support those who do the same as happens in every other insurance
