I'm not arguing, just adding some detail to a slightly incorrect fact. It's true that you usually don't have to ask anyone to install anything else to run a Rust program, because the default experience of using Rust + Cargo bundles the runtime for you. But the same can be done with the languages you used as examples as well. Many programs do in-fact include .net, a JVM or a Python runtime so the users don't have to care about it. Biggest example is probably Blender, which ships with Python (and doesn't require a installer). Many IDEs made with Java also ship their own JVM runtimes.
