This is legit question, especially for Tor binaries.
Advantage of Rust (or original C implementation) is for users that do not have runtime and want to import Tor libraries (like arti-client) in their code. Go could work but those unmanaged languages are better here. So in the end Rust (or C, C++ etc.) can serve more user-cases.
