I like cargo because I don't like having to even think about build systems.
I often renounce to contribute to C/C++ projects because I know I will spend more time figuring out how to install all of their dependencies than making my two-line fix.
On the contrary, in the rust ecosystem, I know I can just make my two-line fix, run cargo test, and if there is no red line in the output, I'm done.

I don't think the main reason is cargo. The main reason is that you don't have to worry that the very simple pointer dereference you just wrote may allow anyone on the internet to take full control of the machine of anyone that runs your software.
