Is this fair?

Pretty much _all_ backend software is 'dangerous' when connected to the public internet.

It's fairly rare for anything other than say HTTP(S) and SSH to be exposed unless absolutely necessary.

It's not like it's difficult to cock up authentication in Rust, for example.

Yes, software security is hard. That's why you shouldn't make it harder by using a language that has tons of undefined behavior unless you have to.
