I get the argument, but the community argument doesn't actually change anything. No compiler will guarantee any particular behavior in the presence of memory safety issues. Very few programs happily tolerate random memory corruption or race conditions, etc.

Run valgrind on any large successful code base and you will find tons of memory corruption. It just happens to occur in places where it does not matter.
