Exactly this, if you are building some CRUD app then it's as easy as using Java or Go etc, because basically there you have request -> contact some db -> return result, maybe do some processing of that data, so no need to fight borrow checker at all. But if you build something like multiplayer game server with lots of state of 3D world that constantly changes and interacts with itself, that is operating on self referencing data structures etc then it's not as easy as in GC language.
