I think most rust programmers are aware enough to know that it's not actually 100% memory safe. But it's memory safe-r. I don't actually know anyone who's done even a little bit of rust actually believe it's 100% safe
The stdlib is full of unsafe, I'd much rather they handle the unsafe parts which have been audited and battle tested and I use their abstractions.
It's almost impossible to avoid unsafe somewhere in the chain. But that's not really unexpected. What's nice is that once you have a safe wrapper, it's impossible to misuse and cause memory errors
