People said food store constantly at 0 F will always be safe. Only the quality suffers with length freezer storage. Freezing keep food safe by slowing the movement of molecules, causing microbes to enter to dormant stage. Freezing preserves food for extended periods because it prevent the growth of bacteria that cause both food spoilage and foodborne illness.
Does freezing destroy bacteria? How do you think. Appreciate your opinion.
Have a nice day!.

Freezing is not safe as many bacteria can survive below 0'C. Bacteria can survive and it is not safe to store food for extended period of time.

I don't think freezing destroys bacteria. Like you said. It only reduces the movement of molecules. Steaks will taste the same if you grill it 100 years later after freezing it. But if a piece a chicken has salmonella, deadly bacteria, is eaten raw after freezing it, you will die with a probability of 100%. the only way to kill it is to cook it at high temperature. Throw anything in a lava of volcano and it will surely be destroyed. :) hope it helps
