For me it is not only about Rust but any open-source software. Companies essentially get labour for free and they don't have to commit their own resources to take on employees and they don't pay salaries and tax. This creates advantage for privileged developers who can work for free and "show off" and there are less jobs for developers from poorer backgrounds as there is nothing like Rust to develop, because companies can just snatch an open source project.
Do you not think this is weird that these companies have billions and billions of cash lying around and developers who helped them make that money probably still live in a rental shoebox?
