You aren't wrong. I'm not correcting you. I'll just add that conservation of momentum will consolidate anything that doesn't fall into the gravity well into rings, like Saturn, and to a lesser extent Jupiter. So, there is quite a lot of material floating around, but, it's been packed into a stable orbit in a single plane, which makes the area of danger quite small.
