This is the point of void*, one does not have to use it.

void* malloc(size_t size);

void free(void *ptr);

You use it a lot more than you think ;)

This is not a type safety issue though. For malloc the size has to agree. But in any case, you could wrap it into type-aware allocation demonstrating that this is not a limitation of the type system.
