It is a matter of mindset, multiple safe C variants have been attempted throughout the years.

Even lint was already available in 1979, yet hardly anyone used static analysis tools on C codebases.

Which is why I mentioned defaulting to strong static analysis. Having it as a separate tool or an unknown flag is not enough.
