Sanitizers can only show you some memory problems that happen during a given runtime with given data.

And your 10+ minutes baseless assumption is just demonstratively false. In the default debug mode it is literally instant with human perception on my current, not small project. Longer compiles only happen in release mode or when you introduce new dependencies.

Shall I link you to Valgrind bugs as well?

Ok, not 10+ minutes, more like 6 minutes on a beefy machine:

See, you fail to understand the point

As was already stated, sanitizers catch a subset of issues and rely on test coverage. Sanitizers have been in use by projects for years, with lots of money spent on fuzzing and test coverage, and there are still numerous issues.
