Where are you more likely get a burglar enter your home? Windows ...
Where are you more likely to develop cracks in your walls? Windows ...
Where are you more likely to develop leaks? Windows (especially roof windows!)...
Sorry but horrible comparison ;)
If you need to rely on unsafe in a memory-safe language for performance reasons, then there is a issue with the language compiler at that point, that needs to be fixed. Simple as that.
The whole memory-safety is the bread and butter of the language, the moment you start to bypass it for faster memory operations, you can start doing the same in any other language. I mean, your literally bypassing the main selling point of the language. \_00_/

It actually means "Rust needs to interface with many other systems that are not as stringent as it". Your interpretation has nothing to do with what's actually going on and I am surprised you misinterpreted the situation as hugely as you did.
...And even if everything was written in Rust, `unsafe` would still be needed because the lower you get [to the kernel] you get more and more non-determinism at places.
This "all or nothing" attitude is boring and tiring. We all wish things were super simple, black and white, and all-or-nothing. They are not.
