Rust's compile-time safety guarantees are a lot less appealing if the generated code runs ins a sandbox anyway. If the C/C++ code compiled down to wasm goes haywire it is not a security concern, 'only' an inconvenience for the user.

I mean, security issues are just a class of bug. Just because the sandbox keeps you for causing more damage when you stomp on yourself, doesn't mean there's not value in not stomping on yourself at all.
