It's not characteristic of all forecasting, only purely empirical forecasting.
Definitionally, the only way to reason about risk that doesn't appear in training data is non-empirical (e.g. a priori assumptions about distributions, or worst cases, or out-of-paradigm tools like refusing to provide predictions for highly non-central inputs).
DL is not any better (or worse) than any other purely empirical method at answering questions about fat-tail risk, and the only way to do better is to use non-empirical/a-priori tools. Obviously the tradeoff here is that your a priori assumptions can be wrong, and that too needs to be included in your risk model (see e.g. Robust Optimization / Robust Control).
