We know for a fact that GC'ed langauges can e.g. prevent double-free for ever and ever. Obviously, this is modulo the language/runtime implementation, but if there are bugs there you fix them once and every single program out there gets the fix instantly. Similarly for many other types of 'dangerous' bugs.
