I thought you might agree ... ;)
E.g. there is this (not yet released) language JAI especially built for game programming and if i remember correctly the author ruled out Rust because he claimed that game developers sometimes (often?) have to fiddle with memory to implement certain abstractions and that Rust makes that somehow inconvenient.
Maybe that was not his main point and he still might have ruled it out if 'unsafe' was called different, but I think the name itself carries a misleading naming. I mean who does want to do something that is unsafe?
