I don't understand where you stand. Surely, you don't mean that all C programs have memory bugs. But on my side, I'm not claiming that discipline makes C a memory safe language either. This discussion has taken a weird turn.

Well all of them "potentially" do, which is enough from a security standpoint
There have been enough zero days using memory leaks that we know the percentage is also non trivial.
So yes, if programmers can write bugs they will, google SREs were the first to famously measure bugs per release as a metric instead of the old fashioned (and naive) "we aren't gonna write any more bugs"
