I think the Rust people are de-emphasizing the importance of linked lists due to the glaring hole in the Rust language that makes it difficult to implement linked lists, and horribly awkward to do doubly-linked lists in safe Rust (See https://rcoh.me/posts/rust-linked-list-basically-impossible/ https://rcoh.me/posts/rust-linked-list-basically-impossible/ ) To save face, the Rust astroturfers are now skipping around saying "Linked lists aren't important"
