The trade-off is intended to make it easier for people to write software. Garbage collected languages make it easier for people to write memory safe code at the expense of performance, significantly greater memory usage, and heavy dependencies/runtimes.

These trade-offs are wholly unnecessary if the LLM writes the software in Rust, assuming that in principle the LLM is able to do so.
