Advocates of the C approach often gloss over the increased maintenance burden, especially when it comes to security issues. In essence, you’re signing up to maintain a limited fork & watch for CVEs separately from upstream.
So it's ultimately a trade off rather than a strictly superior solution.
Also, nothing in Rust prevents you from doing the same thing. In fact, I would argue that Cargo makes this process easier.
