Sorry, that is not obvious to me. I agree that Rust has an advantage. Still to me it seems there is a chain of arguments where each argument contains a bit of exaggeration: Improving safety in Linux kernel code is super extremely important, memory safety is the most important aspect, Rust gives you basically full memory safety, etc. Each such statement is true to some extend but exaggerated in my opinion. At the same time alternatives to improving safety in C code are downplayed and it is presented has hopelessly bad. So if I take into account all these aspects, then overall I find the full story not as convincing anymore.
