That's probably one reason why people still keep using only libc stuff - requiring external libraries is annoying, distributing huge string+whatever libraries with your sources is annoying, and stripping them down to bare minimals is also annoying. I try to prevent mostly just write access buffer overflows, for that there's no need to rewrite all existing libc functions to work with yet another string type. If there's no secrets in process memory, there's no reason to worry about read access overflows more than there is to worry about bugs/crashes in general.
