The Rust project does not have a goal to destroy every single piece of technology that could be construed as user hostile. The reality is that if you want to write a widely used browser application, you need to use Javascript, and probably soon, optionally WebAssembly. Rust is well positioned to take advantage of that.
(This is not an argument against the claim that Javascript/WebAssembly are user hostile. I have no real interest in discussing that, and frankly, there is no obvious conclusion to draw there. Instead, I'm pointing out a category error.)
