Well, an underrated aspect of the Rust rewrites, is that it's easy to publish and share official libraries from the projects that the community can use, something that is too hard in C land.

If anything, from a security standpoint, this is one of the bigger issues with a rewrite in Rust. Besides the "MIT EVERYTHING" mindset, Rust people are also similar to JS devs in having projects with huge supply chain attack surfaces, from their eagerness to rely on so many crates.
