Meanwhile the report does not really single out C/C++
Thats because in government products many unsafe languages shittier than C(++) are used, like Ada, Fortran, and Cobol. It wouldn't surprise me if most of the code running on products for government use werent written in C or C++
What are you talking about? Did you read the report? On page 7 They directly say that C/C++ "lack traits associated with memory safety".
