I didn't say Google didn't care about security, just that they have shown almost no interest in static analysis, and have shown a clear preference for runtime mechanisms like sandboxing and garbage collection for memory safety. That's why I find it weird that you're bringing them up here as some sort of leader in C++ static analysis, they very much aren't and have been quite dismissive of related work like verification as well.
I'm also not sure what you mean by "exposing Rust in the userland SDK." Rust doesn't have a stable ABI, how would that even work? It's not like they're exposing system calls as C++ classes or anything like that, either. The choice of programming language for an operating system is, at least from the perspective of API design, mostly an implementation detail.
