All safe language runtimes use unsafe code by this logic.

Does that also apply to GC-languages?
Yes, if you dare to look into a GC implementation, you might see some truly unsafe code indeed
You can't have 100% safety all the way down. Garbage collection doesn't help you if the VM itself has a memory leak or some driver crashes.
