That is a very narrow perspective on the usefulness of languages and glosses over all the other reasons why someone would want to use Rust. You do it because you like the language, with the caveat that you may have extra dev work to fill in gaps.
As a Rust dev coming from Java, I will tell you nulls and proper error handling in Java are still major runtime issues, a cause for many rollbacks and emergency fixes.
There is even the promise now with wasm and other tools to use Rust from the bottom to the top of the stack without any compromises (in terms of performance, memory usage, or type safety).
Rust might not be the language for you and that’s fine, but your opinion is not shared by everyone.
