It's fair to blame the programmer for the choice of programming in a language like this, if it was in fact their choice. As you've so eloquently put, choosing those languages is essentially equivalent to choosing UB, so starting a new project with one of them is 100% blameworthy when the UB is inevitably found.

Not all projects are green field. But sure, new modules can be written in other languages. And C is, as cross-language barriers go, fairly easy to interface with.
