By the same logic, if an app written in C has a security issue due to a null pointer or buffer overflow, the problem is clearly the coder's lack of experience with C.

Actually yes, because it is possible to write correct C, and because they could have chosen other language less conducive to those pitfalls. But your analogy doesn't hold, because in case of shell, the situation is different: the pitfalls are easy to avoid, and for unix admin tasks, there is no compelling alternative to shell.
