This is technically correct, but a bit pedantic.

Sure, you can technically just write your own vulnerability for your own program and inject it at an unsafe and see the whole world crumble... but the exact same is true for any form of FFI calls in any language. Is Java memory safe? Yeah, just because I can grab a random pointer and technically break anything I want won't change that.

The fact that a memory vulnerability error may either appear at no place at all OR at the couple hundred lines of code thorough the whole project is a night and day difference.
