This sounds like a failure of the Rust documentation.

The documentation is supposed to tell you what the language is, not exhaustively detail everything the language is not.

No, it's supposed to teach people how to use the language. When a large fraction of your user base will be bringing a specific skill set, then you should generate documentation aimed at translating those skills!

You've described tutorial, not a language documentation set.
