You know that whoami didn't originate with GNU, right?
The GNU coreutils are themselves rewrites of earlier BSD tools. The Rust version AND the GNU whoami.c both look similar to the BSD original https://github.com/weiss/original-bsd/blob/master/old/whoami/whoami.c https://github.com/weiss/original-bsd/blob/master/old/whoami.... Hell, the rust version is clearly a lot closer to the BSD original than to the GNU clone.
Honestly if you're going to have an opinion on this issue, you should try to educate yourself on all of the Unix that predates GNU.
