I have never seen a comment claiming that Rust leads to magically completely bug free programs.
Could you please link one? Because I doubt it exists, or if it does, it is probably on some obscure website or downvoted to oblivion.
On the other hand, I see comments in every Rust thread that are basically restatements of yours attacking a strawman.
The reality: Rust does not prevent all bugs. In fact, it doesn't even prevent any bugs. What it actually does is make a certain particularly common and dangerous class of bugs much more difficult to write.
