The issue is not that C++ is 100% memory safe language, it is not.
Personally I would rather be using Ada or Modula-3 for the few use cases I still use C++.
However in the context of security minded developers that can only choose between C, Objective-C, C++ and nothing else, C++ is the only one providing the features to write safer code.
Of course if not all team members play ball it doesn't work, but it is better than not having an option at all.
