I am also curious how much of those "%70 of the vulnerabilities" would be detected by tools like valgrind, CPPcheck etc (either directly in the former case or indirectly in the latter). If a major part, then the main problem is people not incentivized to / not having enough time to use these tools.

Valgrind is pretty crazy to find bugs and memory leaks !
