I wouldn't say that Rust is similar in this regard, nor do I think it is really a fair criticism of C++. It's more a fair criticism of certain C++ design idioms that are popular in certain circles. If you talk to people who do systems programming in C++ (particularly embedded systems), you'll find this isn't a common problem.
