As long as the vulnerability types that cause trouble in language B are a superset of those that cause trouble in language C, it makes sense to recommend moving from B to C for safety reasons.
This is true even if there is a language A that is even worse and in the absence of language C, we recommended moving from A to B. Code written in A will be worse in expectation than code written in B than code written in C.
