That's a not what happened. Hellwig asked that Rust in Linux guys not write common bindings to his layer but do it per driver.
In other words he as DMA code maintainer gets to choose what and how other people use his interfaces for. That's not how interfaces (as in two environments in software interacting ) work.
By that logic if he hates Logitech drivers he can sabotage them because he doesn't like how the devices look?

He as DMA code maintainer choose no Rust code. However he then can't choose to veto Rust code bindings. He could have choosen to have Rust code and that would have given him the veto.
