If you work on real objects made of metal and wood with dangerous tools like chain saws. There are a variety of protective measures you can take like guards, clothing and so on. These things don't provide guarantees safety under all conditions, they don't guarantee good design, objects that have no mistakes or that will never behave badly when used.

And yet, despite all of that not using these protective measures is considered by every reasonable person as incredibly stupid and worthy of a darwin award. This goes so far that there are laws that regulate this.

Nevertheless somehow when it comes to software all of that goes out the window. There is risk to other peoples money, privacy and potentially their lives? Who gives a shit? It doesn't make everything a 100% safe so let's use decades old tools that are difficult to learn are horrible to work with, allow for a huge number of completely preventable mistakes to happen, that we know happen often.

In any other context people would never come up with such a criticism. It would be considered ridiculously stupid to the point that some might think you're being sarcastic and making a joke and once they discover they not, they'd ask if there are some mental problems that might require attention.

Rust and languages that go into that direction don't solve all our problems and that's completely irrelevant.
