This reason exactly, when I was learning Rust I had a milestone of complete - when I can reason the errors reported by the compiler, and comfortablely make my program compile. At that point, I could already let my program to run on production. Whereas in C/C++, when learning, there's always the fear of missing something, and without a C/C++ veteran in team to review, I would never trust my C/C++ program to run on production settings.
All that is to say, Rust opened a whole new way (better for myself, YMMV) to access low-level programming for higher-level language programmers.
This is a huge selling point for Rust. If you have a project done in C++ you will need to have at least one amazing developer in your team to double check all the code to insure that nothing can go wrong. You will also preferably have a team of developers that are medium+ in coding in C++ because if it’s a junior team the senior dev will spend all his time teaching and correcting the code his team does.
With Rust thanks to the borrow checker and all the help from the compiler you won’t need that wizard in your team. That means less stress thanks to the compiler and less management and you can have a team with a lot of junior devs without having the necessity to have anybody to be senior to oversee the code and you can still be confident to ship code to production.
