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.

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