This is completely misleading. The vulnerabilities that exist in those languages are completely different. They often are also far less impactful.
Memory safety vulnerabilities typically lead to full code execution. It is so so so much easier to avoid RCE in memory safe languages - you can grep for "eval" and "popen" and you're fucking 99% done, you did it, no more RCE.
