Which is an even worse description because 'reliable' and 'secure' are just adjectives that can mean almost anything you want them to mean and thus tell the intelligent reader almost nothing about the product at all.

To a non-technical user, "prevents errors when programs try to access the wrong memory, or attempt to work with that memory in two different places at once" is just as much word salad as " prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety". They don't know what either one means or why it's a good thing. And the first question the technical user is going to ask is "what makes it reliable and secure?"--which is what the technical description is for.
