Have a look at Rust/WinRT where the Microsoft team is the opinion others should provide the safer wrappers on top.

Isn’t that an FFI boundary though? There are a lot of examples of FFI crates where the inner FFI is wrapped by an outer safe crate with a Rust API.

Not having looked at that API specifically, it might be that they think there are perhaps different approaches to implementing the safe interfaces, and those may be best left to specific implementations for UI abstraction frameworks, like Druid.

Just speculating.
