When things such as the borrow checker are so heavily built in to the language, I find it hard to to see how Rust isn't ultimately intended to do memory safety. Obviously it does other things, and I'm sure it has some cool ideas in there. But I have a hard time seeing how it's a mischaracterization of Rust to say that memory safety is kind of it's thing.
