This is not a true statement. being able to cancel for refund is not the same as not being able to get a refund
If not being able to get a refund is an isste, then buy a slightly more expensive fare that does allow most of the fare to be refunded
There are non refundable fares that allow changes
If booking an expensive non refundable fare, then perhaps take out travel insurance to cover unexpected situations
