Perhaps the parent meant dynamic linker.

It wouldn't be the linker that has to be unsafe, it'd be the "and now execute!" jump. And that could be abstracted as memfd+execveat, which are fairly normal operations.

OP's argument is roughly "doings things with computers has to be unsafe to be useful", which is.. uninteresting.
