All the while I have to use broken, unsafe software on a day to day basis I reserve the right to complain about things that make programs broken and unsafe

The vast majority of software that I use on a daily basis is broken because of logic errors and/or performance problems, not crashes due to memory unsafety. The former has nothing to do with memory safety, and the latter isn't solvable at all by programming language design.

I'm not saying that memory unsafety isn't a problem, but if you really want to make software better, you should address the biggest problems first.
