> In other words, it's possible to put C and C++ on the same footing as Rust when it comes to memory bugs;
No. This is only true if you don't care about occasional bugs. e.g. hobby projects. But if you're talking about mission-critical or security-critical software, there is a gap - or a canyon - between C vs C++ vs Rust. And no amount of extra "efforts" by the programmer's part can bridge those gaps completely.
