why is it ok to eat steak undercooked (rare) and other meats are not safe?

It depends on the meat.
Pork tapeworm is far more common than beef tapeworm and has more serious side effects. You want to make sure you cook those dead so they don’t turn your brain into swiss cheese (if you like horror, look at pictures of pork tapeworm in the brain).
Chicken carries salmonella bacteria that gives you food poisoning. Cook until dead so you do not spend a week in a bathroom.
Ground beef has to go through the grinder, so it increases the number of parts that could have E. coli on it (more food posioning!). When you cook a steak, you cook all the outside surfaces so all the places were E. Coli could be are cooked, but an extremely rare burger could still have E. Coli in it’s folds.
