There’s a pretty wide chasm between kernel hackers and people who have used malloc before. :) And an embedded programmer ought to have the ability to intuit (a naive) malloc on their own (you can have malloc without a kernel).
A lot of embedded code NEVER calls malloc (thus the need for no_std in Rust). Consequently, you can go a long way in embedded without really knowing the difference between stack and heap.
"Embedded programmer" does not imply "Linux Kernel Hacker".
