I think that's precisely the point; at scale, and with today's modular software culture (like last week's left-pad news cycle demonstrates), 99% correct software can mean millions of installations of bad code, all vulnerable to attack, or even just 1%-type bugs.
One way to think about the last 10 years of language design is an ongoing dialogue on how much or little to trust engineer intuition about which tools are safe for which jobs. The pendulum is swinging towards the belief that in general engineers should be given much more safety-oriented tools.
