While subtle, your point was not lost on me! Technically all pointers are accessible, but the issue remains that we have not logically accounted for unused resources and are wasting capacity. In this sense, memory leaks are possible in all languages. We could store every object into a global structure, and it will never be freed in any language. Thus, my Rust program balloons forever.
