> The new stacks also tend to have fewer custom static code quality analyzers from third-party vendors, and they are used a lot in mission-critical C++ codebases.

Are these static code quality analyzers detecting code quality problems that Rust and company are also vulnerable to? Or are they mostly looking out for the hundreds of legacy footguns that C++ still officially supports?
