That's not that easy. Yes C++ static checkers have improved, but the core guidelines will probably never provide the level of memory safety than Rust offers nowadays. There is a point where you can't make C++ safer without breaking the language.
That's why Mozilla decided to create a new language despite its huge C++ code base and that Microsoft decide to favor Rust after experimenting with Checked C.
They both have a huge base of C++ application with all the tooling possible, but still 70% of their critical vulnerabilities come from memory unsafety.
