Since you don't think this is a skill issue, shouldn't you support Safe C++, which eliminates unsafety rather than just turning a blind eye to it?

You can only use Valgrind/ASan, stress testing, and rewriting in other languages to pay off the technical debt. Even if a god points out every bug in your code, you'd still need to put in great effort to fix them. If you don't pay for it while coding, then you must pay for it after coding. There are no shortcuts.
