Memory safety bugs are a big focus because they're the most common kind of bugs that can be exploited in a meaningful way. Disabling entire segments of code is unlikely to introduce new memory safety bugs. It's certainly likely to find race conditions, and those can sometimes lead to security bugs, but its not nearly as likely as with memory safety bugs.
