In fairness it's just the announcement of V1 of the library. There doesn't seem to me to be anyone promoting its use "everywhere". On the other hand, there has been from day one a sort of hype around Rust's safety features, and an eagerness to promote any new library or framework written in Rust as a savior of programming. This library, as you note, will be used inappropriately (i.e. in contexts where it's not really necessary or reasonable to do) and lead to the worst kinds of bugs--those that lurk in complicated, difficult to understand code, and that are generally worse than any memory-related security vulnerability.
