Because Rust's standard library doesn't provide memory mapping you will need to use platform specific APIs.

In Zig it's exactly the same except that they decided to provide the POSIX platform specific APIs, which if you're using a POSIX system is I guess useful and otherwise it's dead weight.

It's a choice. I don't think it's a good choice but it's a choice.
