Having used Rust off and on for the better part of 4 years through a lot of tumult and change, I agree with you. In most cases the kinds of breaking changes and immaturities that the Rust core team communicates clearly to the ecosystem would be represented as nothing but silence and a giant dump of breaking changes suddenly in a lot of other ecosystems. Sometimes the Rust team seems to pay a price for transparency, in that it gives people visibility, and thus something to make an opinion about and/or complain about. In an information vacuum there's nothing to opine about except the vacuum itself. As annoyed as I often was, and occasionally still am, about different shapes of API stability in the language/libraries; I'm extremely happy the Rust team has maintained a commitment to developing everything out in the open.
