You seem to be ignoring that most people who want off the infernal npm/cargo hamster wheel are conscious that it implies a bit of spoilt milk or moldy bread in exchange for stability and that they're fine with it. The gains are just too numerous and important to reject the few rust spots on a "good enough" stdlib. But well, the kind of people who nod a bit too much while reading https://boringtechnology.club/ https://boringtechnology.club/ aren't using Rust. They're on C99, ANSI CL, Ada, maybe Python, Perl or Tcl.
