I am not criticizing anyone for preferring Rust. I reject the idea that its complexity needs to imposed on everybody because of "safety"

  The "impose on everybody" is based on clear, objective metrics at the national and international level. The fact that you, as an individual, prefer to use an unsafe, weakly typed language isn't very relevant to that. The issue is not that it's not possible to write secure programs in C, the issue is that in practice, on average, people don't. Pushing the use of memory-safe languages will reduce the number of security vulnerabilities in the entire software ecosystem.
