this is one big exception, because logical bugs are most common and most problematic.

If your main concern is security bugs, then according to Microsoft[0] about 70% of their bugs were memory-safety related.

Most people don't write operating systems or write software in C/C++, so memory safety bugs are not big concern.

The article we've all supposedly read (but clearly some have not) is specifically talking about software written in a mix of C/C++ and Python.

I strongly disagree. The vast majority of bugs I see are unhandled None or exceptions and typos in dictionary keys and class attributes.
