It's complicated.

I absolutely care if the BT stack of my phone is written in a safe language, because many of the security flaws that make many, many Android devices permanently unsafe (due to end of support) are caused by memory unsafety.

On the other hand, I have the suspicion that Rust is voiced a bit too much by a loud minority - I like Rust as much as I don't like Golang, nonetheless I think that for the majority of non-performance critical projects, Golang may be a better fit.
