I suspect that you’re not asking in earnest because otherwise you’d look up the Rust Foundation’s membership page[1] and see for yourself which companies asked for this emphatically enough to put money behind it.

We use languages that impose other “arbitrary” constraints on us in order to save ourselves from our mistakes. For example, we avoid implicit conversions from strings to integers, or we use type systems that make sure that we don’t treat “dollar” type decimals as if they were “euro” types. The ownership model is a similar concept but to avoid memory bugs.
