It's simply incorrect, and betrays a carelessness with facts. Now, if you wanted to argue that the fragment of Rust excluding "unsafe" is not a systems language, fine. But by that reasoning, I think you can make an even stronger argument that (standard) C is not a systems programming language, because in practice no kernel is written in a way that avoids all undefined behavior.
