Ha! Fair point.
Two counter points:
* As other comments have mentioned, security bugs matter more in some products than others. (E.g. think of a desktop application connecting to an organisation's own database.)
* That includes a whole lot of code (maybe the majority) which is either C or C++ from before C++11, given that the bugs were tracked in the period 2006 - 2018. Never mind a hypothetical Rust-without-lifetimes.
