I understand where you are coming from, and I agree that it's good that we are paying more attention to memory safety, but how would a memory safe language protect you from an intentionally malicious code commit? In order to enact their agenda they would need to have found a vulnerability in your logic (which isn't hard to do, usually). Memory safety does not prevent logic errors.

This is where you got me, because while it's clear to me that short-term damage has been done, in the long term I believe you are correct. I believe this event has made the world a safer place.
