Right and there are other ways to achieve strong security guarantees than memory safety, e.g. at the OS level by sandboxing critical operations.

1. It's much more expensive that using a memory-safe language in the first place (maybe cheaper it if you have a big codebase already, but still very expensive and not worth it at all for new code)

2. Sandbox escapes are commonplace, and not everything can even be sandboxed at all.
