I think it's really a POV thing. Rust surfaces those concerns very directly, even if it would have been correct 99.999999% of the time, Rust will enforce another decile of correctness. Since it does this quite aggressively Rust's users tend to have their mind (mine included) a bit (over)fixated on those issues.
(also, in Rust you don't use common sense, you use the compiler, and imo that's great, my common sense has failed me enough)
