Rust has a very real purpose. Make certain common classes of bug stop. I don't see any real alternatives to it that go as far as Rust does for safety. I'm not a Wayland fan due to the lack of keylogging (Needed for global shortcuts and easily writing daemons that use keyboard input) and screenshotting as standard features, but it's not like it's being forced on people, the community as a whole is demanding stronger and stronger security guarantees, "All your stuff has access to all your other stuff" doesn't seem to be good enough for many people.

Global shortcuts and screenshots are already available as standard features. The problem with your thinking is the system needs to be designed to have security by default for it to have an chance of being secure. We know from X11 that "insecure by default" is a mistake that leads to everything breaking later when someone tries to hack it to actually have security. When everything is secure by default, you can still turn off the security checks and allow everything to get access to everything else.
