It isn’t wrong, it’s misguided. You can write the same code in a Turing machine, too.

Sure, but the discussion against Rust is basically saying that you can have the same features without the downsides of using Rust, which is objectively true. For example, memory analyzers like valgrind work great.

If you assume that the only benefit of using rust is built-in valgrind, sure, but there's more to the language than preventing off-by-one errors.

If people don't want to use the language then that's fine, no problem, but a lot of people do want to use the language because it's just a great language to use as well as having memory safety.
