Disclaimer: I pretty much don’t like Rust, but most criticism of it boils down to culture war.

    Partly it’s more of “destroy an ecosystem”. Among languages, Rust is at the frontlines of a continuing trend to remove GPL-licensed, community toolkits and put corporate-friendly, AI-friendly toolkits in their place, eg.: replacing grep with openaigrep, which would basically be step 2 in the process of privatizing or corporatizing the Linux ecosystem (and leads to the loss of a number of user freedoms).
