You have to blame both the carpenter and the tools. Since there is no such a thing as a perfect carpenter, mistake will happen, that why a tool that can prevent a whole category of mistakes is a good thing. It's no mistake good carpenter don't use crappy tools. To be the most efficient, you need the good carpenter with the good tools.

Of course you have to care about the problem domain first, but it's absolutely wrong that nobody commit their budget to fix C++ safety problems. There is a massive amount of static and dynamic tooling to mitigate its problems and a substantial part of the C++ evolution these last years was to improve safety. Rust was able to go further than C++ in this area since it is not yet constrained by decades of history.
