Junkiness and vulnerabilities go hand in hand.

True that. maybe I'll rephrase, was Rust specifically chosen to address memory concerns? I don't think it is too common in Android.

??? Android crash little things left and right, and have leaks just for existing.

I did a quick look on androidxref and saw a lot more .rs files than I expected. I haven't worked in Android frameworks stuff since around 5.0. I knew not too long after I left that world they started adding some minimal rust stuff, but looks like its grown a bit. Exciting. It's a perfect fit.

That's probably a major reason. But, Rust is also just a really nice language that's very pleasant to use.
