You sound like the people who argue that, despite decades of security vulnerabilities offering evidence otherwise, C is perfectly safe if you know what you’re doing and just put more effort into it.

Technically you may be right, but it’s not a helpful viewpoint. What the world needs are abstractions that are easier to understand and program correctly, not assertions that everyone else is doing it wrong and just needs to be smarter/work harder.

That's absurd, I'm not arguing anything of the sort.

If you want an analogy, I'm arguing that a condom helps prevent STD's and unwanted pregnancies. It isn't perfect, but at least it is better than not wearing a condom at all. Nobody loves wearing a condom, but we do it cause it is the right thing to do.
