Isn't this just part of the world view of Rust?
The word 'safe' in Rust has a very specific, technical meaning. 'unsafe' is simply code that is not automatically 'safe' in the Rust sense.
A non-Rust developer sees safe/unsafe and gets worked up, but that just means that he should put his rust-colored glasses [*] on.
This is not unusual in ICT, known for its colorful language. A non-ICTer hears 'black hat' and thinks about how cool and stylish the hat is. An ICTer hears 'hacker' and thinks about how cool and stylish the hack is.
