The simple answer to your question (if you really meant it as a question) is that memory safety comes with ergonomic and performance costs. The Rust project is an experiment in hammering those costs down as small as possible, and sometimes maybe even turning those costs into benefits. But the costs do exist, and of course not every project in the whole world will want to pay them.
