Yeah, to be clear, some domains are different. Gaming is one example of a domain where "best effort" memory safety is perfectly acceptable. Would I prefer full memory safety? Sure, but we don't see games as an attack vector in the wild very often and there are good reasons for that.

If someone wants to build a game in a language that's best-effort memory safety go for it. Similarly, CLI applications are often never called from an untrusted context and often provide semantic power that is equivalent to code execution anyways, so again I'd love to see memory safety, but I'm not going to care that much.

But these are exceptions - you'd still want to way whatever you're getting from memory-unsafe-language-X against just using a memory safe language. The default should be memory safety. Given that we have Go, Rust, Java, and more, there are few situations where memory safety isn't an easy option. Not zero, just few.
