This isn't a meaningful distinction, in the end. Hardware is unsafe too. Real production CPUs have bugs in them which lead to cache lines becoming corrupted, address translations being wrong, branches going to the wrong place, etc. under extremely weird conditions. But, in the end, we don't really do much about it because we trust that it probably won't impact us since we assume the people who built the SoCs or those who wrote the standard library did a good enough job.
