Memory corruption is among the hardest things to exploit but also the most powerful. It used to be easier before things like ASLR and NX-stack.

And 99% of the problem for memory safety and also any other issue goes away for the regular user if software is obtained from trusted sources that provide security support, because the window of opportunity for the attacker gets smaller. Anything that makes this harder (and this includes free software written in Rust) is a practical real-word downside for security.
