He's not gatekeeping in that way by saying that Rust isn't used to create OS utilities (which as an aside is what he actually says. He doesn't say anything about building an OS) and therefore isn't a serious language and therefore shouldn't be included in OpenBSD*. He's saying it's not used for making OS utilities and therefore has no specific use in OpenBSD that requires it to be in the toolchain. Very different points with the latter being pretty reasonable, imo.
