Rust forces you to do this until you have to use unsafe, after which it doesn’t. That is not so different from C++ guaranteeing your safety until you start using raw pointers.
It is not the compiler’s job to stop the programmer from shooting themselves in the foot if they want to. It’s the compiler’s job to make it clear to the programmer when they disable the safety, put their finger on the trigger and aim the gun at their foot. Modern C++ does this, and if you still inadvertedly shoot yourself in the foot in spite of the warnings, you brought it on yourself.
Regular old C, on the other hand, gives you a 9mm when you’re in grade 7, safety: always off.
