Brushing off safety in a single small paragraph sure makes me feel like its not trying to make a serious argument. Sure a handyman likes the simplicity and freedom, but considering this:

In 2019, a Microsoft security engineer reported that 70% of all security vulnerabilities were caused by memory safety issues.[7] 

From Wikipedia, it’s pretty clear memory security is a pretty substantial topic in the programming world. Brushing that off because you do not care makes for a bad argument.
