I agree with you, mainly from the perspective of writing Rust code. When Rust was new, a lot of people said that thinking about ownership all the time is a burden, but I think it's the opposite, it gives a sort of frame that helps to build the software's core abstractions. I think in this regard C++ is much more unopinionated, which means every codebase is different. In Rust, ownership is part of the type system, so a lot of the times learning a new API can be much faster because API usage is easier to understand and this style of programming is already familiar.

yes. ownership is an extremely critical part of software design, especially for complex interactive programs.
