This is terrible reasoning. You're basically saying that language features have no impact on bugs, putting all the blame on the programmers. But programmers are humans, and as such they make mistakes (even the best of us). We should embrace tools which are designed to help us catch mistakes. The correct reasoning would be to recognize that certain language features make entire classes of bugs impossible. For example, in my Rust projects, I never have to worry about null pointer errors. Sure, there might be other types of bugs in my code. But at least I don't have bugs due to nulls. Also, there are no data races in my code—yet another thing I don't have to worry about thanks to the design of the language. (I'm not saying Rust is perfect. I'm just using it as an example.)
