I guess C++ is used much more often because you're multiple times

C++ incorporates most of C. So someone can write 'C++' code but can
still have most of the same problems as C.

It's true that C++ decided to inherit unsafe C designs as C being
sort of its base. But a sophisticated programmer would knowingly
avoid the unsafe parts and use the existing safer C++ constructs.
Only that a language allows that you *can* write bad code doesn't
mean you cannot avoid the problems. Of course it would have been
(IMO) better if the unsafe parts were replaced or left out, but
there were portability consideration in C++'s design.
