After skimming it, I kinda think the only point they really needed to make was "Rust makes the core team happier". I think the person you're responding to's point, is lots of the things this post is describing about Rust are also true about Go, in which case they're just kind of...saying things...? Which, to be clear, I think is fine, I just also think these things clearly wouldn't be the catalyst for a full rewrite on their own. To then say "Our team also just likes Rust a lot" is, to me, the only real edge that Rust has over Go, based on the decisionmaking in this blog post. Your developer's experience is valuable, and caring about what your developers _want to write_ is admirable.
It doesn't have to be an argument, I am also just the type of person that thinks it's important to point out when people claim to do things for non-reasons.
