It is what usually happens when you design by committee instead of everyone having a common understanding and working towards the same goal under a single person/entity.

Not saying it's good or bad, just how Rust ended up where it is.

"Design by committee" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_by_committee

I disagree it's a pejorative term as Wikipedia puts it though. Design by committee is in many cases necessary or even wanted (standard bodies).
