Try examining the above script. It's a lot of work. It's not just a bunch of wget's and cp's, there are a bunch of subroutines and conditionals. Too much to look at. Also as another user pointed out, uninstallation is a problem.

This would be a reasonable counter-argument if most people could honestly claim to have inspected the source of >1% of the things they'd installed from apt-get/yum/etc. "But I trust the maintainers of those repositories to verify correctness" - yes, and people trust the Rust maintainers, too. I'll grant you that uninstallation is usually a good argument (though not in this particular case).
