So isn't it on the programmer to ensure the safety checks are enabled if appropriate? I agree with the gist of your statement, I'm just not sure how this is the responsibility of the language itself. It ships with the option to build via a safe mode. I don't think it's a moral imperative of the language designer to ship without an unsafe mode. Even rust has unsafe blocks.
In most engineering professions, it's the engineer's responsibility to ensure appropriate levels of safety, not the CAD software used to build the blueprints. But every situation doesn't have the same level of safety required; backyard sheds don't have the same needs as skyscrapers.
