70% of all security fixes Microsoft releases are memory safety bugs.

This isn't a security issue, NASA isn't Microsoft, and physically degraded memory isn't the same as a memory safety programming bug.

I'll certainly bet that article is super popular with the rust crowd though.

That article specifically is popular with the Rust crowd, yes, but moreover, that roughly that number (70%-80%) has been replicated by a multiple big tech companies, not just Microsoft. Chrome was another large name.

(And yes you're right none of this has to do with this stuff, for sure.)

"memory issue" seems overly broad or vague.

There's no way that's true... maybe 70% of bugs that crash your computer though.
