A major power outage has nothing to do with reverse proxy software. It's difficult to take your critiques in good faith.
C++ is too complex for an expert to safely identify whether something is a bug or not. Not all C++ developers are experts. It is alarming you consider this state of affairs to be acceptable or that Rust does not clear mitigate many of these issues out of the box.
Does Rust eliminate all bugs? Of course not. That was never the assertion. When Microsoft finds in a study that 70%+ of all Microsoft CVEs would have been avoided given Rust's memory model, it should not be hand-waved away as personal preference or irrational bias. [2] [3]
