And, even more importantly: Depending on the use case, that work is not wasted! "You have a bug in your code" is very possible (more unlikely in rust due to its design, but still). If that bug triggers UB, chances are high you habe an exploitable security problem there. If it instead triggers a panic due to rusts checks, the app stopps in a clean way with a decent message and without a security vulnerability.
