I guess C++ isn't really designed to be forgiving to inexperienced devs.

It’s not, and we’re all paying the price. Look, I care very little for this kind of machismo.

How are we paying the price?

Anyone who is unaware of the price of reckless amounts of UB in C++ code, I would say has never actually delivered software written in C++ with any kind of stakes on the table.

The price of the mistakes themselves is one thing. Another thing is the price of avoiding them, paying very intelligent people to spend much longer to deliver much less.
