Only a sith deals in absolutes, it's not solely about _anything_.
I write multithreaded code every day, and I'm constantly pushing for us modernizing and cleaning up our c++ codebase. Mistakes happen, subtle bugs slip through, but probably 95% of the code I write and features I write don't benefit from the extra checks that rust provides. The 5% that _do_, that's a trade-off, and we need to decide whether it's worth it. In the long tail, yeah there's less bugs of various categories.
Is that worth the cost of the rewrite and the productivity hit for 95% of what I do (as someone who would genuinely benefit from having a borrow checked), the answer right now is probably not
