I agree, but I think things are moving. Increasingly few projects are started in C and C++, and people are making serious efforts to convert som existing projects to (for example) Rust. Also, looking at things like the Linux kernel, they are moving to add as many safety checks to C as is reasonable. Clang is adding a "all stack variables are initialised" mode.
