Exactly. But in the "system" industry that reason only is not worth the effort. I already know how to ride a bicycle "by instinct". Why would I use the training wheels again? just in case?
I really hope libraries like libssl and other foundational (but not considered "system") libraries are rewritten in Rust, but also believe that they should not push lower than that (kernel, peripherals, bare-metal).

You're still managing the memory/lifetimes yourself. Something like garbage collection would be more like wheels, since it does the work for you.
