I think it is remarkable how important ABI is to C++. I think 'making it easier to enable them' i.e. enable the sane defaults went down the drain once they locked in on not breaking ABI.
I am sure that Herb wrote this with good intentions, but no concrete measures was proposed but trying to standardize compiler tools, and to some extent downplay Rust.
I agree there is a misconception around programming safety, but this reads the same as when big industry say the want to focus more on climate change.
