This is not necessarily true, you can write unsafe Rust code and you can write safe C++ code, but it does seem to hold in practice that the guardrails imposed by Rust help quite a bit in stopping devs from making really stupid mistakes.
That would be the "thrustworthiness" implied by the use of Rust.
I don't really know what a VMM consists of, so I'm mostly surprised that this project is half a million lines of code.
