Every community has bad apples. I've worked with hardcore Rust devs and they hate the cargo culting as well.
What ticks me off is that people single out Rust and that's very visible. Go criticize C/C++ legacy baggage and you'll get a very different engagement. Say something about Python and Golang. Very different responses.
At this point and to me, as a mostly indifferent side observer, people negatively overreact if Rust is praised -- and only cite a bunch of loonies that even the Rust devs and core contributors dislike.
Does not seem like a fair and objective assessment to me.
As techies we should be much better than that. Merit before bias and all that.
