FYI French and never heard of a pill cutter. Used my fingers for the last 30 years and I would estimate the failure rate at well below 1%. It is just that the dent on this one is u shaped, while nearly all other are v shaped, making the snap easy easy. Also pill cutter seriously? Heard of knifes?
Pill cutters are situationally easier for the elderly to use. They’re portable, don’t require a cutting surface, and generally have guards along the blade making it safer than a knife.
What works for me is snapping it while my fingernail is in the groove. Gives a clean break down the center like every time.

This coming from the nation that invented the guillotine
Yeah because the first few beheadings by knife were exhausting and the executioners went on strike.
But fun fact : the French word for strike is “grève”, which comes from the name of the place where executions were heldv
