Security is just one aspect of web application development. Writing in rust doesn’t guarantee an application free of security issues like how writing in another language doesn’t necessarily guarantee an app full of security issues.

The odds of correct operation are higher with Rust, and for some people that matters a lot to them.

There are plenty of good reasons not to use rust. If your use case doesn't care about security, fine use whatever. Or if time-to-market is critical, use go or whatever. Or if your organization can't handle the risk that when you leave they can't find another good rust developer, then don't use it.
