Calling it pointless comes across as jaded. It's not pointless.

Supporting Rust attracts contributors, and those contributors are much less likely to introduce vulnerabilities in Rust when contributing vs alternatives.

to introduce certain common vulnerabilities ...

not vulnerabilities in general.

And seatbelts and airbags do not prevent all harm, yet they are still universally used.

[rrmm → krior]

It's a pedantic point admittedly, but I think it's important to be realistic and clear that Rust isn't a panacea.
