They're not trying to destroy your thesis, they're trying to make sure it's complete and sccurate. In theory, the only person who knows the material is you, so they can't just ask anyone else.

I never really understood why they call it a defense. Nobody's going in there trying to insult or fight it.

That person went to a department that was WAY less toxic than mine was.

That said, my committee was lovely and my thesis and dissertation were relatively low-stress compared to some of the horror stories I've heard.
