Probably the inverse. If nobody is running their C programs through Valgrind then you're basically giving away free vulnerabilities to any adversary that cares enough to look for them. Microsoft sounded the alarm on this decades ago.
As a C/C++ programmer I want the US government to stop wasting billions on failed IT projects, web sites that don’t work, systems that resist upgrading, and a rich vein of ongoing leaks and hacks.
They tried it before [1]. It looks like it's more than just coincidence - even Torvalds tries to push Rust into the Kernel, and make the Kernel adapt to Rust[2], which is putting the whole thing on its head.
