How is that not the case for any language that lets experts get at the gory details what is the alternative?
Even in languages like Ruby this problem exists. Superficially, Ruby has a decent garbage collector and you never need to dereference a pointer. In practice as soon as it gets slow you hit an optimization stopping point and need to write an extension in C. Then you have all this mess again except with all the baggage another whole language brings to the table and none of the sheltering of a type system.
At some point you just have trust software devs to use the tools.
