Think of it as elaborating, rather than disclaiming. There is a real problem in the realm of Rust advocacy where people make a blanket claim, either wrongfully assuming it is true or assuming that others are aware of the limitations of the claim. This is a problem when the reader is not aware of the limits of what is being said, while creating conflict when the reader calls out the limitations.

Reading a book on Rust programming is an entirely different matter since authors tend to elaborate upon what they are claiming. The reader has to understand how things work and what the limits are. As such, there is less opportunity for misinformation to spread and less room for conflict.
