No-one's forcing you to use crates published on the crates.io registry - cargo is perfectly happy to pull dependencies from a different public or private registry, elsewhere in the same repo, somewhere else on the filesystem, pinned to a git hash, or I think some other ways.

"We shouldn't use the thing that has memory safety built in because it also has a thriving ecosystem of open source dependencies available" is a very weird argument.

I don't see anyone anywhere in this thread saying that we shouldn't use rust, or C for that matter.
