State actors and high tier criminal orgs will always have a way into your digital life. In a way, making code more secure is just creating an asymmetry where regular joe can't break into a device but only state actors and other major players can. I can sort of understand GP's sentiment. If someone really wants to hack me, they will. Or they'll find some other vector. The prevalence of memory safe code doesn't really impact my own security as an individual. But it does impact my ability to jailbreak and own my devices. There was a similar discussion around the intel Trusted Computing concept. It was not a platform that ultimately benefited the user, it was a platform for user-hostile forces to 'trust' that the user isn't interfering with the code they want to execute on the user's device. Slowly but surely we're moving towards a world where user devices are merely thin clients over corporate and government owned systems, and don't really belong to the user at all.
