Hardcore manual memory people seem to have completely misaligned priorities to real-world concerns. Maintainability, safety, productivity, and iteration speed seem to be bottom-of-list to the egotistic holy grail be being able to say they write their own memory routines. I think you've gotten very worked up over a theoretical boogieman person that doesn't exist. Most natively compiled programs are written in C++ with Rust as a distant second and both put a lot of effort into the selling point that you don't have to manually manage memory the same way you do with C and can do with ownership. I've never seen anyone like you're describing.
