I've noticed an obsession with memory safety via Rust, leading people to reject tried-and-true C/C++ software for newer, less battle-tested versions. This aims to avoid memory issues but can introduce new bugs not present in the original. They often highlight avoiding memory problems without talking about the risks of moving to a totally new and different codebase. It's as if the focus on memory safety overshadows all other problems.
