The standard library is one example. Indexing into a vector unwraps, as do many other stdlib functions.

In my experience, most people are using get() if the source of the index is untrusted

Pro tip: most popular crates have excellent documentation (I know it's a shocker coming from other languages). So, check stuff before you use it.
I assume this is because the ecosystem lowers the barrier to entry for writing an generating documentation (compared to other ecosystems).
That's what it's supposed to do, RTFM.
Use .get() for safe access.
Second, I never claimed it was an issue or a bad thing at any point. Someone asked for examples of libraries that panic, and I gave an example.
I must be missing something because it makes no sense to me that people seem to be responding defensively and claiming that I either don’t understand the Rust docs or am pointing out problems in Rust.
