The thing I wish we would remember, as developers, is that not all programs need to be so "safe".
"Safety" is just a shorthand for "my program means what I say". Unsafety is semantic gibberish.There's lots of reasons to write artistically gibberish code, just as there is with natural language (e.g. Lewis Carroll). Most programs aren't going for code as art though. They're trying to accomplish something definite through a computer and gibberish is directly counterproductive. If you don't mean what you write or care what you get, software seems like the wrong way to accomplish your goals. I'd still question whether you want software even in a probabilistic argument along these lines.
Even for those cases where gibberish is meaningful at a higher level (like IOCCC and poetry), it should be intentional and very carefully crafted. You can use escape hatches to accomplish this in Rust, though I make no comment on the artistic merits of doing so.
The argument you're making is that uncontrolled, unintentional gibberish is a positive attribute. I find that a difficult argument to accept. If we could wave a magic wand and make all code safe with no downsides, who among us wouldn't?
It doesn't change anything about Super Mario World speedruns because you can accomplish the same thing as arbitrary code execution inputs with binary patching. We just have this semi-irrational belief that one is cheating and one is not.
