It's possible to write systematically safe code in assembly, no need to use any language. People really just don't want to do it.

When the language has builtin safety, it has better ergonomics, so there's merit in switching language.

If that language you speak of is Rust or many GC more dynamic languages I'll agree. If you mean C/C++, frak no. They don't have "builtin safety" at all. Nothing that's opt-in is safe or secure.
