That's 100% a rust problem. Trusting another system to sanitize your input is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Windows being shitty isn't an excuse for the language being shitty as well.
Except it's actually an "Every language and library that provides this feature" problem because literally no one was aware that this sanitization problem even existed, and Rust is among the first to actually fix it.
