I don't get your point at all. C++ has different casting operators (static_cast, const_cast, reinterpret_cast) that are strictly safer than C-style casts.

Also, let's not forget that implicit casts between unrelated pointer types is only a warning in C. Fortunately, modern C compilers started treating it as an error by default because it caused so much harm: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/porting_to.html. In C++ this was always a compiler error.
