Reproducibility was a core concern for cargo. Your parent is incorrect. A lock file means that your dependencies are never updated unless you explicitly ask for an update.

There is also cargo vendor to download the dependencies locally. I’m using just that at work to ensure builds without network access work.

Rust is no worse here than say Haskell with cabal or stack or Swift with whatever they were using I forgot or go for that matter.
