Only in theory. In practice it never happens like that. I mean, you think Google wouldn't use that for Chrome if they could?
google is giant and chaotic, and chrome likely is spagetti code mess. Its hard to tell if their approach is reasonable and fully implemented without digging deep.
I work on such project, where we use simplified C++, and it works fine, no memory corruptions in my experience.
Ladybird already does that
