I did a git grep for strcat, strcpy, and sprintf and found numerous entries
in the codebase. Is there a specific reason for their use?

Who told you strcat/strcpy/sprintf is not secure ?
This is absolutely non-sense.

To be less binary -- if I may say so about software -- strcat, strcpy, sprintf etc are not insecure *per se*, and strncpy for instance is not any "more secure" *per* se*.

Uses of the functions, on the other hand, are secure or not depending on a contextual analysis.

Rosen, did you analyze the uses of the functions beyond their mere appearance as shown by a grep?
