You can absolutely write drivers with zero unsafe Rust. The bridge from Rust to C is where unsafe code lies.

And hardware access. You absolutely can't write a hardware driver without unsafe.
There are devices that do not have access to memory, and you can write a safe description of such a device's registers. The only thing that is inherently unsafe is building DMA descriptors.
