It's incredibly silly to want to insert Rust into every discussion and suggest every article written about something that Rust (sort of) does should mention it. It's not a good look for people not yet into Rust that this stuff is still happening, IMO.

If it's just a matter of marketing and failing the subjectivity of a popularity contest, that's a shame, but I wouldn't leap to assume that's the sole reason.
