I think people really don't appreciate just how incomplete Linux kernel API docs are, and how Rust solves part of the problem.
I wrote a pile of Rust abstractions for various subsystems. For practically every single one, I had to read the C source code to understand how to use its API.
Simply reading the function signature and associated doc comment (if any) or explicit docs (if you're lucky and they exist) almost never fully tells you how to safely use the API. Do you need to hold a lock? Does a ref counted arg transfer the ref or does it take its own ref?
When a callback is called are any locks held or do you need to acquire your own? What about free callbacks, are they special? What's the intended locking order? Are there special cases where some operations might take locks in some cases but not others?
Is a NULL argument allowed and valid usage, or not? What happens to reference counts in the error case? Is a returned ref counted pointer already incremented, or is it an implied borrow from a reference owned by a passed argument?
Is the return value always a valid pointer? Can it be NULL? Or maybe it's an ERR_PTR? Maybe both? What about pointers returned via indirect arguments, are those cleared to NULL on error or left alone? Is it valid to pass a NULL ** if you don't need that return pointer?

But the end result of all this is that you CAN, in fact, just look a the Rust API and know how to use it correctly for the most part. You never have to worry about reference counts, about NULL pointers, about forgetting to check results, about dropping refs in error cases.
You never have to worry about holding the right locks, about accidentally forgetting to take a ref or dropping it twice. You never have to wonder how error returns are encoded.
Because if you make a mistake with these things, your code won't compile.
Of course you can still misuse APIs, but the worst that will happen is that you'll get an error return, or maybe a deadlock (deadlocks are easy to debug with lockdep and I wrote a really neat Arc<> integration to catch potential drop/decref related locking errors).
Even with APIs that mostly are fairly rigorously documented (OpenFirmware/Device Tree comes to mind), following all the rules in C is often tedious and error prone. Look at some random OF code in a driver and there's a good chance it leaks references.
(This doesn't really matter for most systems since they don't compile kernels with OF_DYNAMIC so ref counts are ignored, so this never gets noticed and fixed.)
But with my OF Rust abstractions? They do ref counting for you. You can just forget about it.

For govts, that's duty of service. For startups, it's maximizing product/market fit potential. In both cases, turning anyone away is one of the dumber things you can do, even if all of your direct stakeholders carry iPhones and MacBooks.
