Not really, that’s just my impression reading stuff about unsafe rust, and programming C++.
wouldn’t your comparison need you to take into account unsafe constructs used to implement the C# VM?
Rust compiler depends on LLVM written in C++, kernels for all mainstream OSes are written in C.
The probability of bugs in my code I just written is orders of magnitude higher than probability of bugs in these third-party systems.
Rust compiler depends on LLVM written in C++, kernels for all mainstream OSes are written in C.
But this general criticism is just as valid for C# which you say is safer, isn't it? 18.6% of the C# runtime is written in C or C++[1] and you run the runtime on an OS that's largely written in C or C++.

Do you have an example of C++ being safer than unsafe Rust?
As to C# being safer, wouldn’t your comparison need you to take into account unsafe constructs used to implement the C# VM?
