This is a bit of a misconception for people who've not worked with unsafe Rust. It's not like the language and most of its features disappear. It just allows a few extra features that are unsafe, like working with pointers... Which, granted, is a lot of interaction with hardware. But you can kinda "cordon" this to a small subset of the codebase dedicated to this low level hardware IO
