Your priorities do not match that of most kernel developers or most operators of network-connected Linux systems (even if we ignore Android). So I don’t think your problem is with Rust at all, you’ll need to fork Linux if you want the project to stop putting huge amounts of effort into memory safety (as it has for decades).

You are right, I do not have a problem with Rust as a language nor with the kernel improving memory safety. My issue is solely with exaggerated claims and aggressive marketing of Rust.

(And I am operating network-connected Linux devices since 30 years myself. Memory safety is not the known issue, at the moment I worry more about limited security updates due to Rust.)
