Memory safe languages, where usage of Miri and Valgrind (tools to for instance debug memory unsafety) are common and integrated into CI for some of the projects in the language. Even some Rust guides encourages running Miri in CI https://microsoft.github.io/RustTraining/engineering-book/ch... . Searching on GitHub yields a lot of projects that run Miri in CI. And there have been a lot of CVEs for Rust projects caused by memory unsafety.

Interesting perspective that you have.

People still die while wearing helmets and seatbelts.

Yes, those unsafe blocks should be cross checked, but lets not pretend it is the same as writing C or C++ where each line of code is a possible CVE.
