That's not what I claimed.

I pointed out that languages with safe string handling and memory management have a higher security baseline. As in, what you start with, for "free".

Achieving comparable string and memory security in C/C++ is an expense. You must take active steps to prevent those exploits; and even then human error means that you will have a higher risk than the "free baseline" languages.
