Since it's in German, here are the key points of the article (written from memory - the article is quite old, so I might misremember - best read the article yourself):

Software development is stuck in a vicious cycle regarding project budgets.
- Some competitors don't know better and just budget the "happy path", that assumes that everything during development goes right.
  - The author uses a term for this which I like a lot: "Hybris of the programmer"
- Other competitors know better, but still have to lie in order to remain competitive when it comes to prices
- Therefore almost all software projects end up with a way too low budget
  - So we get buggy software
Rust might be a way out of this misery, because
- it is understood that it takes longer to develop something with Rust
- but on the flip-side the safety-guarantees rule out a lot of bugs
- so customers who choose to have their project implemented using Rust are fully aware of the higher costs, but also the higher quality
- and developers have a well known argument for the higher costs, and also have data that shows how this higher investment will yield a better quality product.

The first point applies to any kind of engineering anyway.
