I agree with this point. The MISRA standard is mainly there to discourage use of the parts of C that most often cause faults. You can comply to MISRA C while ignoring some of the rules if you determine the risk to be justifiable. Ideally, these un-safe methods would be removed from the C language, but then that would be removing the low level ability from C that it is very suited for. So these guidelines exist to note the most dangerous parts of C, but it is still up to the developer to determine how to use it safely.
