It's a bit ironic that everyone considers Rust as safer while completely ignoring the heavily increased risk of pulling in malware in dependencies.

Different things. "Rust is safer" generally means memory safety i.e. no double-free, no use-after-free, no buffer-/under-flows, and the like. The safety you seem to have in mind is "minimal dependency count".
