A good chunk of Rust code often ends up linking in a C/C++ library where it’s still a concern (and this is ignoring that unsafe Rust is actually harder and more unsafe than C currently). More importantly there’s millions if not billions of existing lines of C/C++ not least of which is the VMs for “memory safe” languages like Java. There’s huge value add in automatically adding security for a fractional CPU cost since the world won’t be rewritten into Rust anytime soon.
