This is exactly the way I see it. I view the bar for developer responsibility to be much higher than some others do. I suspect it's because I come from the world of information security where we deal very directly with the consequences of not having a higher bar.

To me, the idea that a new language would be anything other than entirely memory safe, unless it is very domain specific to areas where that's not important, is just another example of developers lowering the bar. And I'm fine calling that out and being called a zealot or whatever.
