The wires in Project West Ford weighed something like 40 micrograms, with a diameter in the low tens of micrometers. They don’t really fit the criteria of what’s being discussed here - they would not do significant damage to other satellites, and while they could reenter the atmosphere and hit a person, you probably wouldn’t even feel it.

(Note that I'm not taking about things like the age verification laws, which haven't had a meaningful effect anywhere yet.)

This is taking the "rewrite it in Rust" meme a little too far. I love it!

The issue is the frequently repeated, formulaic use.
