What people are roundaboutly observing is that the vast majority of developers these days either begin their career or spend at least a part of their career as web developers. That Rust is such a successful onramp to systems development even for people who haven't been classically trained in it is one of the strengths of the language.

While it is good that such people are embracing Rust for such purposes, they would have had a similar high level experience with something like Modula-2 or Object Pascal.
If anything, it is the pseudo-macro Assembler approach to C's design that made it a scary experience for some developers.
