One of the criteria for belonging in the standard library is “needs a lot of unsafe to implement”, so the standard library has more unsafe code than your average codebase.
Beyond that, to some degree, it is the point of Rust: limit unsafe things so that you can reason about them more easily. The CPU is inherently not safe, so it has to exist on some level. rust gives you tools to manage this.
