Some distros do actually break out rust dependencies into separate packages (e.g. Guix does this). It's just that a lot of rust software isn't distributed primarily by distros.

Fedora and Debian do this too. That's why it sometimes takes longer for a project to be packaged - you literally have to recursively package all of the dependencies first.

Which is a feature, and not a bug: some of us want our distro maintainers to actually have a look at what they distribute.

Yes and it doesn't prevent anyone to build software separately, being written in rust or any other language.

IIRC Arch does as well (or at least tries to).

Arch does for quite a few ecosystems (Python, Ruby, Haskell, ...) but currently not for Rust.
