There kinda can in the sense that you could just make every function `unsafe`, but that's a bit of a giant blinking red flag.

And even then it will warn in many situations. Unsafe does not suddenly make everything okay, it only allows 3 specific things that are otherwise not allowed.

Yes, but through these it does let you break the language by creating invalid values (and thus trigger wide-ranging UBs).
