> people insist on using the dangerous way and then blame it on the language

Can you blame them when the dangerous way uses 0 syntax while the safe way uses non-0 syntax? I think it's fine to criticize unsafe defaults, though of course it would not be fair to treat it like it's the only option

They're not using the dangerous way because of syntax, they're using it because they think they're "optimizing" their code. They should write correct code first, measure, and then optimize if necessary.
