I would disagree, because people don't really care about memory safety for security reasons as much as I think gets talked about.

The most important safety mechanism in Rust is the borrow checker. It solves so many real problems that people willingly put up with the steep learning curve because that's easier than debugging data races and use after free.

Bounds checking is nice but it's not interesting or compelling enough to talk about as some ungodly super power of safety and security.
