That is true for the case for developer tools and libraries, but is it also true for end-user applications?
I've noticed many Rust projects e.g. on Github use the CI to provide proper releases with binaries.

To me it sounds likely that this particular user is also a developer. I don't think people are compiling that much stuff these days, even on unixy operating systems. Of course developers often tend to prefer to just cargo install them because they have everything set up for it to work, but thinking users want to first set it up with rustup sounds like a tall order to me.
