Ah yes, "But what about other safety?". An entire year of hand wringing from C++ people was predicated on this. In one of his rambling proposal papers Bjarne listed all manner of exciting different kinds of safety he'd imagined and which, he assured us, C++ was already almost able to achieve thanks to his wisdom and foresight. And every single item on his list of course requires the thing C++ doesn't have, memory safety. You can't write software which has any non-trivial properties when it has unconstrained Undefined Behaviour. It really shouldn't be this hard but I have reluctantly accepted that this "argument" is not made in good faith.
