>> being explicit and making the programmer make decisions

>Why RAII then?

Their quote is probably better rephrased as _being explicit and making the programmer make decisions when the compiler's decision might impact safety_

Implicit conversion between primitives may impact the safety of your application. Implicit memory management and initialization is something the compiler can do safely and is central to Rust's safety story.
