Hard topic because lot of people feels Imperium is still alive just to keep the franchise up, more than because they can handle it somehow. ;)

And as you pointed out, when i talked about luck i was thinking about enemies of the IoM that are not allied. They don't really need to ally in order to wipe humanity forever. Messing with a  Necrons Tomb world when a Black Crusade is just started. A huge Space Hulk full of Genestealers coming out of nowhere while a great WAAAAGH decide to point at some key location just to find a good battleground...and many other combinations containing hive fllets, renegades, and many more.

A misfortunate fluke would be enough to see the imperium on his knees. And frankly is a miracle it 's not happened yet.
