Memory safety isn't so corporate, AFAIK. I think it's just a current programmer fad, like pearl's dwim, python's "pythonic", JavaScript having 5 different libraries for every conceivable one-line function, Haskell's um ... I never got Haskell, etc.
Every time a language starts taking off, people want to rewrite everything in their language. Rust just has the performance and a few advantages that make it arguably better than C for the things C does, which is a bit cool I guess.
