Okay, but now imagine a kitchen appliance that did the same thing. It would not be a big seller. Of course a kitchen appliance can injure and even kill you, but it probably wouldn’t unless you try really hard.
Most of programming is like that, but in the few cases where there literally are lives at stake, memory safety by itself will not do much for you and performance is going to be a secondary concern.
Zig does have safety features that C/C++ do not have, but also one should not underestimate the security implications of language complexity by itself.
