I generally agree with you, but it's nice that in Rust you can use a for loop if it makes more sense. I mostly end up doing this when I want to reduce to multiple collections (put type a in here, type b in there) or call functions that return different types of errors. The other time it's very useful is when translating algorithms specified in an imperative form. I translated a bunch of algorithms specified as for loops to elixir, and it was annoying to have an extra source of complexity when comparing the implementations for correctness.
