Tl;dr it's because they don't want to neglect the other output formats PNG and SVG. For those they'd have to render the PDF, for which there is apparently no satisfactory rust package.

I'm seeing this delay lots of features in rust projects.

For example helix the text editor hasn't gotten file watching (for the purposes of updating after external edits) for years now because of apparent problems with the file watching library in rust.

Typst's file watching seems to work excellent since 0.12, though.

and there's no nice way to insert PDF using WebASM, which is their first-tier support and monetization platform (i.e. 1st party Overleaf)
