The big problem is that we have long stepped over that line.

Now even when you pay you are still shown ads (maybe, but not surely, not-targeted) and your data is still scrapped and analyzed to hell and back.

You can leak memory in perfectly safe Rust, because it is not a bug per se, an example is by using Box::leak

Preventing memory leaks was never in the intentions of Rust. What it tries to safeguard you from are Memory Safety bugs like the infamous and common double free.
