It’s not that light can’t escape that is scary it’s that the future of anything passing the event horizon changes to eventually end up in the singularity. Black holes are not just death, most of the things in the universe are death to us, black holes are literally the end of time.
Still the end of time for our universe, like it mathematically is. And we haven’t found any white hole in our universe yet despite it probably being much easier than finding black holes or most of the other stellar objects.
