Not sure why what you're saying would be more true for C/Rust/JavaScript or any other language. The perverse idea of adding dependencies without actually reading through all the code you pull in exists in basically all language ecosystems, Rust included.

In C it is much more inconvenient to include external dependencies, so it's much more common for people to roll their own implementations rather than using a tried-and-tested one.

  Or copy in a .C/.h file that gets forgotten about, and therefore gets no security updates.
