This is a tragically misguided view. There are tons of code bases that aren't going to be rewritten in safe languages for various reasons, be it political or technical. You may or may not agree with those reasons, and you may or may not like that these code bases are important, but the fact remains that these projects exist. Giving them a toolset to adopt a broad set of bounds-safe behavior can only be a good thing.
