By your logic, the entire Rust language and ecosystem would be considered unsafe. Even the Rust standard library is full of unsafe blocks and functions. But people don't consider it so, because Rust isn't about avoiding unsafe code. It's about containing unsafe code and presenting a safe wrapper by enforcing the invariants. This philosophy would have been abundantly clear if you cared to look at the patch [1] at the center of this controversy. Perhaps you should verify the validity and harmlessness of your own claims before accusing others.
