It's the old trope that some Rust code uses unsafe blocks so all Rust code is as unsafe as C.

I don’t know Rust but even if the Rust is just as unsafe in certain blocks, simply being translated to Rust removes a lot of corporate resistance to adopt the language.
Getting people to adopt a new language can be a lot of work. I remember people claiming they missed headers files in Swift so they wanted to stick with Objective C.
