At the same time, you should recognize that not all real code in the world is used to run planes & thermonuclear power plants. For a lot of the business software, it's actually fine if it's not perfectly safe. So if it's cheaper/ faster to develop it without paying the price of static safety checks, who is to say that this was a bad tradeoff?
I actually love the ideas that Rust brought forth. It definitely has a place in the ecosystem, and I'm glad to hear critical software is being rewritten in Rust! But that doesn't mean that C++ should copy it.
