I don't think anyone would disagree!

Yeah, I think the distinction here is that I don't consider it "suboptimal" I consider it to be an absolute disaster. I would call rust "suboptimal" in that the language contains some soundness holes and the stdlib contains unsafe - issues, but practically still a massive improvement.
