This is one of those "...except when it does" takes. It's always been a bald faced No true Scotsman fallacy.
A: "Modern C++ has no problems with memory safety."
B: "But what about X? X was written in C++ last year. X has problems with memory safety."
A: "X is not modern C++."
That "memory unsafe languages produce vulnerabilities" is an empirical claim. I can give you gobs of data. If you actually think, "In practice, people writing modern C++ code do not struggle with memory safety", then you should produce some data that shows this to be the case.
So, my take is -- okay, prove it. Because, my guess is, your claim is mostly a feeling you have about your code (yes, simply good code vibes) rather than something you can demonstrate to others.
