The non-CS "human" answer to this is that so much of tech and programming is unfortunately tied to identity. There are developers who view their choices as bordering on religion (from editors to languages to operating systems and so on) and across the entire industry you can see where some will take the slightest hint that things could be better as an affront to their identity.
The more that Rust grows and winds up in the industry, the more this will continue to happen.
