Sure, you could write deliberately bad code in Rust by unwrapping everything everywhere, but the point is that it is a distinct choice to do so. You can’t forget to handle errors - you have to make the choice to disregard them. If you forget to check for NULL in C it won’t complain and it’s dependent upon you to remember to do so.

Unwrapping everything isn't even bad, that's what most webservers will do
