"For more than a decade, memory safety vulnerabilities have consistently represented more than 65% of vulnerabilities". That's not minority. We are getting into minority territory now because of Rust and other memory-safe languages.

Use any framework and it's solved problem.
You're missing the point [1]
(or I was unclear)
Yes, improvements in neuro surgery can save lives, but the bulk of preventable deaths it's in human mistakes [2] that are almost impossible to make impossible.
Just like the majority of the bugs are not prevented using rust, just a minority of them, which are also arguably the hardest to find and exploit, while a SQL injection can be exploid by a script kiddie with average IQ.

[2] The three risk factors most commonly leading to preventable death in the population of the United States are smoking, high blood pressure, and being overweight.
