You can ignore most of the complexity that's not inherent to the program you're trying to write.

The difference is C also lets you ignore the inherent complexity, and that's where bugs and vulnerabilities come from.

In Rust/C++ you can't, it's forced upon you.

In C you can ignore whatever you feel like, and that bothers some people so much that they have to stop everyone else from doing it.
